This implements block scoped 'const' declared variables in harmony mode. They
have a temporal dead zone semantics similar to 'let' bindings, i.e. accessing
uninitialized 'const' bindings in throws a ReferenceError.
As for 'let' bindings, the semantics of 'const' bindings in global scope is not
correctly implemented yet. Furthermore assignments to 'const's are silently
ignored. Another CL will introduce treatment of those assignments as early
errors.

Although this patch is not small, most parts of it are rather mechanical:
* First of all, the concept of a 'nil-like' value is introduced, which can be
null or undefined. They are treated symmetrically regarding comparisons, so
it makes sense to handle them in a uniform manner. It is a mystery why
JavaScript defines two of those beasts, when even *one* is a design wart...
* Extended and renamed a few things which now handle undefined in addition to
null.
* Made the parts of the full code generator and the hydrogen generation which
deal with comparisons a bit more similar regarding their handling of special
cases.
* Refactored the syntactical detection of special cases for comparisons,
hopefully making them a bit more readable and less copy-n-paste-oriented.
Things like this should really be a one-liner in any sane programming
language... :-P
* Cut down the length of the argument lists of a few functions to something
less insane, making them more easily understandable locally. This involves
minor code duplication, but this was a good tradeoff and can be remedied
later if necessary.
* Replaced some boolean arguments with more readable enums.
* Fixed a TODO: Values which are definitely a Smi or unboxed can never be equal
to null or undefined.

We now only recognize "native function" when it occurs in extension scripts
(parsing with a non-NULL extension), and only if there is no line-terminator
between "native" and "function" (so that it would otherwise be a Syntax Error).
Preparsing never recognizes native functions, which is acceptable since we
never preparse extension scripts (because we don't allow lazy functions
anyway).

Make checks.h not depend on flags.h or global.h (or anything else except
include/v8stdint.h). Only checks.cc has the dependencies (so another
implementation of checks.cc can be provided by the preparser).
Now files depending on checks.h (using ASSERT macros) can include it
directly without depending on all of v8.

This issue was raised by Brett Wilson while reviewing my changelist for readability. Craig Silverstein (one of C++ SG maintainers) confirmed that we should declare one namespace per line. Our way of namespaces closing seems not violating style guides (there is no clear agreement on it), so I left it intact.
