This CL adds multiple things:
Transition arrays do not directly point at their descriptor array anymore, but rather do so via an indirect pointer (a JSGlobalPropertyCell).
An ownership bit is added to maps indicating whether it owns its own descriptor array or not.
Maps owning a descriptor array can pass on ownership if a transition from that map is generated; but only if the descriptor array stays exactly the same; or if a descriptor is added.
Maps that don't have ownership get ownership back if their direct child to which ownership was passed is cleared in ClearNonLiveTransitions.
To detect which descriptors in an array are valid, each map knows its own NumberOfOwnDescriptors. Since the descriptors are sorted in order of addition, if we search and find a descriptor with index bigger than this number, it is not valid for the given map.
We currently still build up an enumeration cache (although this may disappear). The enumeration cache is always built for the entire descriptor array, even if not all descriptors are owned by the map. Once a descriptor array has an enumeration cache for a given map; this invariant will always be true, even if the descriptor array was extended. The extended array will inherit the enumeration cache from the smaller descriptor array. If a map with more descriptors needs an enumeration cache, it's EnumLength will still be set to invalid, so it will have to recompute the enumeration cache. This new cache will also be valid for smaller maps since they have their own enumlength; and use this to loop over the cache. If the EnumLength is still invalid, but there is already a cache present that is big enough; we just initialize the EnumLength field for the map.
When we apply ClearNonLiveTransitions and descriptor ownership is passed back to a parent map, the descriptor array is trimmed in-place and resorted. At the same time, the enumeration cache is trimmed in-place.
Only transition arrays contain descriptor arrays. If we transition to a map and pass ownership of the descriptor array along, the child map will not store the descriptor array it owns. Rather its parent will keep the pointer. So for every leaf-map, we find the descriptor array by following the back pointer, reading out the transition array, and fetching the descriptor array from the JSGlobalPropertyCell. If a map has a transition array, we fetch it from there. If a map has undefined as its back-pointer and has no transition array; it is considered to have an empty descriptor array.
When we modify properties, we cannot share the descriptor array. To accommodate this, the child map will get its own transition array; even if there are not necessarily any transitions leaving from the child map. This is necessary since it's the only way to store its own descriptor array.

Now a map points to a transition array which contains the descriptor array. The descriptor array is now immutable. The next step is to share the descriptor array with all back-pointed maps as long as there is a single line of extension. Maps that require a descriptor array but don't need transitions will still need a pseudo-empty transition array to contain the descriptor array.

This adds the --verify-global-context-separation flag which can be used
to verify that no code object embeds pointers to more than one global
context after a full GC. It uses an object visitor that just performs
shallow traversal of the object graph spanned by one code object, and
breaks at points where application objects are encountered. So it will
not trip on cross-context leaks introduced by the application itself.

AccessorPair related transitions are now also stored as single map links, simplifying the code that handles transitions. AccessorPairs can now be shared between descriptor arrays, since they can only be mutated after another transition anyway; during which the pair is copied before writing.

In this design maps contain descriptor arrays, which in turn can contain transition arrays. If transitions are needed when no descriptor array is present, a descriptor array without real descriptors is inserted just so it can point at the transition array.
The transition array does not contain details about the field it transitions to. In order to weed out transitions to FIELDs from CONSTANT_FUNCTION (what used to be MAP_TRANSITION vs CONSTANT_TRANSITION), the transition needs to be followed and the details need to be looked up in the target map. CALLBACKS transitions are still easy to recognize since the transition targets are stored as an AccessorPair containing the maps, rather than the maps directly.
Currently AccessorPairs containing a transition and an accessor are shared between the descriptor array and the transition array. This simplifies lookup since we only have to look in one of both arrays. This will change in subsequent revisions, when descriptor arrays will become shared between multiple maps, since transitions cannot be shared.

Instead of overwriting non-live transitions with NULL_DESCRIPTORs, we remove them from the array by compacting the array (shifting live values to the left) and in-place trimming the array. If the final descriptor array contains no live values (only contained transitions which are now all cleared), we move bit_field3 back from the descriptor array to the map. The descriptor array itself will be collected in the next GC.

This makes back pointers in the map transition tree explicit by having
accurate back pointers throughout the lifetime of maps instead of
establishing and destroying back pointers before and after each marking
phase. This is a prerequisite for being able to clear map transitions
during incremental marking.

1) While marking the backing hash table of a WeakMap we also need to
record the slot because it might be on an evacuation candidate.
2) With incremental marking one backing hash table might be marked more
than once because the WeakMap might have gone through a white to gray
transition.
3) The corner case when the allocation of the backing hash table itself
causes a GC, leads to a WeakMap with an undefined table field, so we
still need to handle this case correctly.

This fixes processing of WeakMaps so that value entries on an evacuation
candidate are correctly recorded in the slots buffer. We didn't pass the
correct slot into the backing hashtable while visiting values.
Also the live bytes counter for large object space pages was not reset
correctly when incremental marking is aborted.

This simple refactoring makes it very clear that clearing non-live transitions
actually consists of 2 quite separate things. Things would even be nicer if the
prototype transitions were represented by a separate data structure instead of
reusing FixedArray in an interesting way once again.
As an additional bonus, this CL makes it possible to read each of the methods in
question on a 30" screen without scrolling!

This includes specialcasing the generation when we know that the maps
of the two objects are the same. In addition, a new specialized
compare ic known objects cache is created.
The reason for the cache is that we need to have access to the stub
code from the roots; if we do not, the GC will collect the stub. In
this specialized case we use the map pointer as key in the cache, and
we always do a lookup before generating code. Actually hitting
something in the cache will happen very rarely, but we could
potentially overwrite an existing stub, which again will lead to the
GC collecting this old stub (even if it is referenced from other code
objects)

a mark-sweep. We have a soft limit on old space size, which is designed to
trigger an old-space collection when we hit it. Unfortunately although the
soft limit had already triggered an old space collection, the soft limit was
preventing objects from new space from being promoted. For every promotion
candidate we were checking 3 different ways to allocate in old space before
giving up and putting the object in the other semispace. This change allows
the promoted objects to go to old space and also makes us more eager to
sweep a page before trying other ways to find space for an object.
