As taking a snapshot of a large heap takes noticeable time, it's
good to be able to monitor and control it.
The change itself is small, big code deletes and additions are in
fact moves. The only significant change is simplification of
approximated retained sizes calculation algorithm.

Approximation is done by building a dominators tree for the heap graph.
Dominator nodes and retained sizes are serialized into JSON.
Removed:
- reachable size (it is useless, after all);
- HeapEntryCalculatedData (size is now stored in the node, retaining
paths in a hash map);

Otherwise, retaned memory sizes are not precise. This increases size
of heap snapshot, I will deal with this later. Heap objects and
references previously missing in snapshot are now marked as 'hidden'.
That means, they not shown to user, but participate in sizes
calculation.
Other small changes:
- added 'shortcut' graph edges: e.g. to pin global objects on top
level;
- meta-information in JSON snapshot is no more double encoded.

HeapNumbers do consume memory, so it's worth dumping them. However, we
don't dump their values, as they are not as self-descriptive as values
of strings, and they will increase snapshot size. Storing heap numbers
values can be added if we will feel a sufficient demand for that.
InternalFields are used, e.g. for storing references to DOM nodes
event handlers.

to avoid storing serialized snapshot on VM, instead it is emitted
using output stream interface.
The size of JSON emitted is roughly equal to used heap size
(when stored as an ASCII string).
Now a whole heap snapshot can be serialized and transmitted outside
VM. This makes possible:
- implementing non-async UI for heap snapshots inspection;
- storing heap snapshots for further inspection;
- remote profiling (we can even implement a snapshotting mode
where a snapshot isn't even stored in VM, only transmitted --
good for mobile devices);
- creating tools for outside heap snapshots processing, e.g.
converting to HPROF.

Allows the host application to provide a mechanism for notification and custom logging through a callback (set through the API V8::AddMemoryAllocationCallback and removed through V8::RemoveMemoryAllocationCallback), when V8 allocates ro frees memory.
This replaces the current histogram data "V8.ExecutableMemoryMax" by allowing usage data to be logged by the application as required rather than always through V8.
BUG=http://crbug.com/54222
TEST=Set the callback function with the API and cause V8 to allocate memory.

Eventually indexed property query callbacks will return attributes
(as an integer) or an empty handle if property is not intercepted.
To gradually migrate to this new API, USE_NEW_QUERY_CALLBACK
macro would control if old or new style API is used.
So the migration plan is:
1) introduce new API which should be explictily enabled;
2) switch to new API defining USE_NEW_QUERY_CALLBACK before
include of <v8.h> (that would require changes to client code as well)
3) remove old API from v8
4) remove #define USE_NEW_QUERY_CALLBACK from clients.

If object enters NEAR_DEATH state, it must be explicitly cleared and/or disposed, otherwise
it would retain JS object forever. Note as well that parameter is reset to NULL on first
invocation so weak handle callback would be in hard situation.

TYPE_CHECK in v8.h should assign to volatile qualified null-pointer.
Unless the pointer is volatile qualified, Clang will warn that LLVM
removes the assignment during optimization. This is not a problem as
that code should never execute, but the warning is treated as an error
when building Chromium, and thus stops the build.

To trace objects between snapshots, an external map of object tags is
maintained. After the first heap snapshot has been taken, the map is
updated by reporting object moves from the GC. If no snapshots were
taken, there is no overhead (except for flag checking).
I considered graph comparison algorithms that doesn't require using
object tags, but they are all of a high computational complexity, and
will still fail to detect object moves properly, even for trivial
cases, so using tags looks like unavoidable.

Fix issues so v8 could be built as a DLL.
-. get rid of all the compiler warning by moving dllexport/dllimport
to the individual members for classes which have inline members.
-. update v8 gyp to build v8.dll for chromium multi-dll version (win
and component==shared_library)
Note: most of the code are contributed by sjesse.

This changes the way the constants kJSObjectType, kFirstNonstringType and kProxyType are made available to the inlined part of the V8 API. This change to fixed constants resolves linker this linker error Windows
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static int v8::internal::Internals::kJSObjectType" (?kJSObjectType@Internals@internal@v8@@2HA)
when linking against a V8 DLL.
This change also makes it possible to build all the C++ tests with ENABLE_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT not defined. Now C++ tests run ENABLE_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT not defined, and only the JavaScript tests which tests the debugger fails when ENABLE_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT is not defined.

Changed the disposal of external string resources to call a virtual Dispose method on the resource. The default inplementation of Dispose deletes the object and will capture the delete operator matching the new operator used to allocate the object.
