Condition variables are synchronization primitives that can be used
to block one or more threads while waiting for condition to become
true.
Right now we have only semaphores, mutexes and atomic operations for
synchronization, which results in quite complex solutions where an
implementation using condition variables and mutexes would be straight
forward.
There's also a performance benefit to condition variables and mutexes
vs semaphores, especially on Windows, where semaphores are kernel
objects, while mutexes are implemented as fast critical sections,
it CAN be beneficial performance-wise to use condition variables
instead of semaphores.

Drop the previous Mutex and ScopedLock classes from platform files.
Add new Mutex, RecursiveMutex and LockGuard classes, which are
designed after their C++11 counterparts, so that at some point
we can simply drop our custom code and switch to the C++11
classes. We distinguish regular and recursive mutexes, as the
latter don't work well with condition variables, which will be
introduced by a followup CL.

These classes are meant to replace OS::Ticks() and OS::TimeCurrentMillis(),
which are broken in several ways. The ElapsedTimer class implements a
stopwatch using TimeTicks::HighResNow() for high resolution, monotonic
timing.
Also fix the CpuProfile::GetStartTime() and CpuProfile::GetEndTime()
methods to actually return the time relative to the unix epoch as stated
in the documentation (previously that was relative to some arbitrary
point in time, i.e. boot time).
The previous Windows issues have been resolved, and we now use GetTickCount64()
on Windows Vista and later, falling back to timeGetTime() with rollover
protection for earlier Windows versions.

Move all of the CPU detection logic to the CPU class, and make
all other code use the CPU class for feature detection.
This also fixes the ARM CPU feature detection logic, which was
based on fragile string search in /proc/cpuinfo. Now we use
ELF hwcaps if available, falling back to sane(!!) parsing of
/proc/cpuinfo for CPU features.
The ia32 and x64 code was also cleaned up to make it usable
outside the assembler.

Added a console parameter for source map to the tick processor.
The tickprocesspor reads in the source maps and uses it to output the original filename, line number and column in the profile.
Modified d8 to output column numbers into the log, since this is needed to do source mapping.

Things got quite a bit out of sync (don't we all love copy-n-paste?):
* TypeToString didn't handle SLICED_STRING_TYPE,
SLICED_ASCII_STRING_TYPE, FIXED_DOUBLE_ARRAY_TYPE,
JS_FUNCTION_PROXY_TYPE and JS_DATE_TYPE.
* INSTANCE_TYPE_LIST was missing entries for
SLICED_ASCII_STRING_TYPE, JS_SET_TYPE, and JS_MAP_TYPE.
To improve this maintenance nightmare a little bit, the missing
instance types were added to the INSTANCE_TYPE_LIST macro and this
list is now used via our beloved 2nd order macro technique in
TypeToString. As a side-effect, the strings returned by TypeToString
have a "_TYPE" suffix now, but this doesn't really matter and is a
small price to pay for consistency.
Removed INVALID_TYPE on the way, it had no real use.

Test expectations can now include outcome: FLAKY.
The test runner can now run a class of tests (flaky|non-flaky|all). All tests are in the non-flaky class that are not marked as FLAKY.
The slash correction for windows is now pulled into the test name method. Currently the progress output on windows contains a mixture of / and \.
