Although this patch is not small, most parts of it are rather mechanical:
* First of all, the concept of a 'nil-like' value is introduced, which can be
null or undefined. They are treated symmetrically regarding comparisons, so
it makes sense to handle them in a uniform manner. It is a mystery why
JavaScript defines two of those beasts, when even *one* is a design wart...
* Extended and renamed a few things which now handle undefined in addition to
null.
* Made the parts of the full code generator and the hydrogen generation which
deal with comparisons a bit more similar regarding their handling of special
cases.
* Refactored the syntactical detection of special cases for comparisons,
hopefully making them a bit more readable and less copy-n-paste-oriented.
Things like this should really be a one-liner in any sane programming
language... :-P
* Cut down the length of the argument lists of a few functions to something
less insane, making them more easily understandable locally. This involves
minor code duplication, but this was a good tradeoff and can be remedied
later if necessary.
* Replaced some boolean arguments with more readable enums.
* Fixed a TODO: Values which are definitely a Smi or unboxed can never be equal
to null or undefined.

The Great Master Plan is to move the recognition of special cases for
comparisons further down the compilation pipeline where more information is
available. This is a first step into this direction: The special handling of
equality comparisons involving null is pushed from the parser to the code
generators, removing the need for a special AST node. (There are rumors from
usually well-informed sources that this node type is actually a relic of ancient
crankshaft days...)
The next steps will be the unification of null/undefined handling and pushing
the special case handling in crankshaft even further down the pipeline, enabling
the recognition of cases like "var foo=null; if (foo === bar) ...", but these
will be in separate CLs.

We have to emit code for declarations later into the body block
(and not into the start block) so that the environment contains
the correct values.
In order to capture the environment effect of the declarations
that generate code (function declarations) I inserted a separate
AST id and a HSimulate after the declarations are visited.
Also fixes handling deopt in named function expressions:

Some AST nodes (Property, Call, etc.) store either a list of receiver
types or a monomorphic receiver type. This patch merges the two fields
using a small pointer list. GetMonomorphicReceiverType() is now a
purely convenience function returning the first and only recorded
type.
This saves about 500K (of about 39M) on average when compiling V8
benchmark as measured by a simple patch adding a zone allocation
counter (https://gist.github.com/1149397).

Remove the try/finally used for with and catch. Instead of using
try/finally to handle break and continue from with or catch,
statically track nesting dept and clean up when compiling break or
continue.
And instead of using try/finally to handle throw to handler in a frame
whose pc is inside a with or catch, store the context that the handler
should run in in the handler itself.

The debugger can be entered from the deferred stack check in optimized code. This can cause both lazy deoptimization and debugger deoptimization (setting the first break point and inspecting the stack for optimized code respectively). This required deoptimization support from the deferred stack check.
The lazy deoptimiztion call is inserted when the deferred code is done including restoring the registers. The bailout to the full code is the begining of the loop body as that is where the stack check is sitting in the optimized code. The bailout is not to the stack check in the full code as that is sitting at the end of the loop.

The catch variable is bound in the catch scope. For simplicity in this
initial implementation, it is always allocated even if unused and always
allocated to a catch context even if it doesn't escape. The presence of
catch is no longer treated as a with.
In this change, care must be taken to distinguish between the scope where a
var declaration is hoisted to and the scope where the initialization occurs.

Detect the pattern in both, the full compiler and crankshaft and generate direct pointer
comparisons. Along the way I cleaned up 'typeof <expression> == <string literal>' comparisons
as well by lifting platform independent code and checking the symmetric case.

* AST Expression nodes get a separate testing ID to record type info in
ToBooleanStub later. This is necessary to avoid clashes with other uses of
already existing IDs.
* In order to avoid threading the condition expression through tons of places,
TestContexts carry it now with them. Note that we will probably only need the
testing ID of the expression, but having the whole thing at hand makes
debugging easier. Probably we will change this later...

Introduce separate maps for function and with contexts. Use the function
context map for testing whether a context is a function context (global
contexts are no longer function contexts).
Split the paths for allocating with and catch contexts.
Rename some functions. Generally refactor code to make it simpler.

Mainly, there were errors concerning blank lines before and after class access
control sections [whitespace/blank_line].
BEFORE an access control section (e.g. public:, private:) there should be a
blank line (except for the section right after the class declaration).
AFTER an access control section there should be no blank line.

Almost all uses were below Expression already, only a single use in IfStatement
had to be handled explicitly (probably an oversight from earlier changes?). This
is a small step towards a less ad-hoc handling of IDs in the front end.

Only IA32 version for now. I'll start porting.
Strict mode functions are to get 'undefined' as the receiver when
called with an implicit receiver. Modes are bad! It forces us to have
checks on all function calls.
This change attempts to limit the cost by passing information about
whether or not a call is with an implicit or explicit receiver in ecx
as part of the calling convention. The cost is setting ecx on all
calls and checking ecx on entry to strict mode functions.
Implicit/explicit receiver state has to be maintained by ICs. Various
stubs have to not clobber ecx or save and restore it.
CallFunction stub needs to check if the receiver is implicit when it
doesn't know from the context.

Crankshaft is now the default on all platforms. This is the first
patch on the way to removing the classic code generator from the
system.
This time with no removal of the crankshaft flag. --nocrankshaft is
not at all the same as --always-full-compiler which I had used instead
for testing. That was what caused timeouts on the buildbots because of
repeated attempts to optimize hot functions. It makes sense to keep
the crankshaft flag in case you want to run only with the full
compiler and with no adaptive compilation.

In the cases where a global property cell cannot be used in the optimized code
use standard load ic to get the property instead of bailing out.
This is re-committing r7212 and r7215 which where reverted in r7239 with the addition of recoring the source position in the hydrogen code for the LoadGlobalCell instruction. To record that position an optional position field has been added to the variable proxy AST node.

This allows fast calls and inlining of functions like:
var o = {f: function() { return "foo"; }}
o.f();
Object literals that contain function literals are initially created a dictionary mode
object and only transformed to fast properties once all properties are computed and
added. This allows us to create constant function properties for functions declared
inside the object literal. Function literals inside object literals are marked for
pretenuring so that they work as contant function properties.
Object literals without functions should just function as before.
