5cf643aa42 New heap profiler: add support for progress reporting and control.
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.

1cfc63cf8a New heap profiler: implement fast retaining sizes approximation.
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);

051f314a99 New heap profiler: include all heap objects and refs into snapshot.
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.

d4bc8e1585 New Heap profiler: add dumping HeapNumbers and InternalFields to snapshot.
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.

788c5e344d Better align heap snapshots contents with debugger info.
I created a heap snapshot in Chromium, and then started comparing
it side-by-side with representations of objects provided by
the debugger, fixing discrepancies.

2388079051 Implement heap snapshots serialization into JSON. API is designed
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.

e839a1ca58 Heap profiler: allow returning aggregated snapshots via the new API.
This is intended for smoother migration to the new API in Chromium.
Also, aggregated heap snapshots can be used for cheaply obtaining
heap statistics, e.g. in tests.

1695003bb9 Heap profiler: reduce heap snapshots size.
The size of a snapshot is now 65-80% of the JS heap size (tested on
GMail and Wave), previously it was >200%.

c98ac6e82c Heap profiler: implement diffing of snapshots.
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.

3d7ce8ac19 CPU profiler: add secure profiles by filtering out functions using security tokens.
As several pages can run in a single V8 instance, it is possible to
have functions from different security contexts intermixed in a single
CPU profile.  To avoid exposing function names from one page to
another, filtering is introduced.

The basic idea is that instead of capturing return addresses from
stack, we're now capturing JSFunction addresses (as we anyway work
only with JS stack frames.)  Each JSFunction can reach out for
context's security token. When providing a profile to a page, the
profile is filtered using the security token of caller page. Any
functions with different security tokens are filtered out (yes, we
only do fast path check for now) and their ticks are attributed to
their parents.
