This CL extends the generator suspend and resume implementation to
capture values on the operand stack.
It factors out some helpers to measure and access the operand stack into
the JavaScriptFrame class. It also refactors the suspend and resume
helpers to avoid handle allocation.

This patch makes it so that suspending generators always saves the
context. Previously we erroneously assumed that if the operand stack
was empty, that the context would be unchanged, but that is not the case
with "with".
Fixing this brought out an interesting bug in the variable allocator.
Yield inside with will reference a context-allocated temporary holding
the generator object. Before the fix, this object was looked up in the
with context instead of the function context, because with contexts were
not being simulated during full-codegen. Previously this was OK as all
variables would be given LOOKUP allocation instead of CONTEXT, but the
context-allocated temporary invalidated this assumption. The fix is to
simulate the context chain more accurately in full-codegen.

Previously there has been no reason to context-allocate the receiver, so
access to the receiver always goes through the stack. This was failing
with generators, which assumed that forcing context allocation would
relieve the need of storing anything but the context and the function on
the stack.
This CL adds a slot in generator objects to capture the receiver, and
restores it when resuming a generator.

The generator object methods "next", "send", and "throw" now
include some inline assembly to set up a resumed stack frame. In some
common cases, we can just jump back into the frame to resume it.
Otherwise the resume code calls out to a runtime to fill in the operand
stack, rewind the handlers, and possibly to throw an exception.

Revert part of r14179. From the regression test's comment:
Currently, the gap resolver doesn't handle moves from a ConstantOperand to a
DoubleRegister, but these kind of moves appeared when HConstant::EmitAtUses
was changed to allow special double values (-0, NaN, hole). So we should
either enhance the gap resolver or make sure that such moves don't happen.

When defining an indexed property on an Array object, the object's
length property should (perhaps) be updated. This was done for any
property for which
ToUInt32(name) == ToNumber(name)
was true, meaning any property name that, when converted to a number,
was an integer in the range [0, 2^32). The detection should be more
strict; an indexed property is one for which
ToString(ToUInt32(name)) == name
is true only.

The new test checks full CPU profiling cycle: using public
V8 API it starts profiling, executes a script, stops profiling
and analyzes collected profile to check that its top-down
tree has expected strutcture. The script that is being profiled
is guaranteed to run > 200ms to make sure enough samples
are collected.
To avoid possible flakiness due to non-deterministic time required
to start new thread on varios OSs when Sampler and ProfilerEventsProcessor
threads are being started the main thread is blocked until the threads
are running.
Also I removed the heuristic in profile-generator.cc where we try
to figure out if the value on top of the sampled stack is return address
of some frameless stub invocation. The code periodically gives false positive
with the new test ending up in an extra node in the collected cpu profile.
After discussion with jkummerow@ we concluded that the logic is too fragile
and that we can address frameless stub invocations in a more reliable way
later should they have a noticeable effect on cpu profiling.

Currently, when a long series of removable simulates are merged, we do
this by merging them one by one as we find them. As we merge the value
value lists of the simulates, those lists snowball so that we get a
quadratic complexity wrt runtime and memory consumption.
Instead, we gather simulates that need to be merged, and merge them
backwards starting from the last simulate.

This patch refactors the parser and preparser interface to be more
readable and type-safe. It has no behavior changes.
Previously, parsers and preparsers were configured via bitfield called
parser_flags in the Parser constructor, and flags in
PreParser::PreParseProgram, ParserApi::Parse, and ParserApi::PreParse.
This was error-prone in practice: six call sites passed incorrectly
typed values to this interface (a boolean FLAG value, a boolean false
and a boolean true value). None of these errors were caught by the
compiler because it's just an "int".
The parser flags interface was also awkward because it encoded a
language mode, but the language mode was only used to turn on harmony
scoping or not -- it wasn't used to actually set the parser's language
mode.
Fundamentally these errors came in because of the desire for a
procedural parser interface, in ParserApi. Because we need to be able
to configure the parser in various ways, the flags argument got added;
but no one understood how to use the flags properly. Also they were
only used by constructors: callers packed bits, and the constructors
unpacked them into booleans on the parser or preparser.
The solution is to allow parser construction, configuration, and
invocation to be separated. This patch does that.
It passes the existing tests.

This patchset begins by adding support for "yield", which is unlike other tokens
in JS. In a generator, whether strict or classic, it is a syntactic keyword.
In classic mode it is an identifier. In strict mode it is reserved.
This patch adds YIELD as a token to the scanner, and adapts the preparser and
parser appropriately. It also parses "function*", indicating that a function is
actually a generator, for both eagerly and lazily parsed functions.
Currently "yield" just compiles as "return".

If we find a property in the prototype-chain that we can overwrite, and
we have a transition, keep the holder in the lookup-result as the actual
holder. We will need it for the consistency-check in GenerateStoreField.
By directly checking the entire chain we avoid having to lazily bail out
to a copy of the miss stub while generating the Field Store IC.
Currently this CL disallows a normal non-receiver holder, given that
that would require a positive lookup + details verification to ensure
the property did not become read-only. This fixes the regressions in the
attached tests.

This is one step in the direction of fixing a range of small bugs in the array methods when dealing with non-standard element attributes.
Added tests exercising this behavior for shift and unshift.
For Proxies and Interceptors, the behavior of %GetArrayKeys is now to just return an interval, rather than trying to list all their indexed properties. In the Proxy case, this seems like the only way to avoid an observable difference between smart and non-smart array methods. For Interceptors, the usual case (in WebKit, anyway) is for them to have all indices in [0, length), so enumerating them won't be any better than simply iterating over that range.

Since symbols and strings share a common representation, most of this change is about consistently replacing 'String' with 'Name' in all places where property names are expected. In particular, no new logic at all is necessary for maps, property dictionaries, or transitions. :) The only places where an actual case distinction is needed have to do with generated type checks, and with conversions of names to strings (especially in logger and profiler).
Left in some TODOs wrt to the API: interceptors and native getters don't accept symbols as property names yet, because that would require extending the external v8.h.

- Extend Object.prototype.toString to recognise symbols.
Per the current draft spec, symbols are actually pseudo objects that are frozen with a null prototype and only one property (toString). For simplicity, we do not treat them as proper objects for now, although typeof will return "object". Only property access works as if they were (frozen) objects (via the internal delegate object).

The new instance type 'Symbol' represents ES6 symbols (a.k.a. private/unique names). Currently, symbols are simple data objects that only carry a hash code, random-generated upon allocation.
The new type 'Name' now serves as the common super class for strings and symbols, and is supposed to represent property names. We will eventually migrate APIs from String to Name for the standard key type.
Strings and symbols share the same hash field representation, via the Name class. This way, we should be able to use the same code paths for symbols and internalized strings in most cases. Also, Symbol's instance type code is allocated adjacent to internalized string codes in the enum, allowing a simple range check for the common case.

in preparation of the introduction of ES6 'symbols' (aka private/unique names).
The SymbolTable became the StringTable. I also made sure to adapt all comments. The only remaining use of the term "symbol" (other than unrelated uses in the parser and such) is now 'NewSymbol' in the API and the 'V8.KeyedLoadGenericSymbol' counter, changing which might break embedders.
The one functional change in this CL is that I removed the former 'empty_string' constant, since it is redundant given the 'empty_symbol' constant that we also had (and both were used inconsistently).
