The majority of context slot accesses are to the local context (current context
register and depth 0), so this adds bytecodes to optimise for that case.
This cuts down bytecode size by roughly 1% (measured on Octane and Top25).

Add a notion of "invocation count" to the baseline compilers, which
increment a special slot in the TypeFeedbackVector for each invocation
of a given function (the optimized code doesn't currently collect this
information).
Use this invocation count to relativize the call counts on the call
sites within the function, so that the inlining heuristic has a view
of relative importance of a call site rather than some absolute numbers
with unclear meaning for the current function. Also apply the call site
frequency as a factor to all frequencies in the inlinee by passing this
to the graph builders so that the importance of a call site in an
inlinee is relative to the topmost optimized function.
Note that all functions that neither have literals nor need type
feedback slots will share a single invocation count cell in the
canonical empty type feedback vector, so their invocation count is
meaningless, but that doesn't matter since we only use the invocation
count to relativize call counts within the function, which we only have
if we have at least one type feedback vector (the CallIC slot).

Moves the context chain search loop out of generated bytecode, and into
the (Lda|Ldr|Sda)ContextSlot handler, by passing the context depth in as
an additional operand. This should decrease the bytecode size and
increase performance for deep context chain searches, at the cost of
slightly increasing bytecode size for shallow context access.

For historical reasons, the interpreter's bytecode expectations tests
required a type for the constant pool. This had two disadvantages:
1. Strings and numbers were not visible in mixed pools, and
2. Mismatches of pool types (e.g. when rebaselining) would cause parser
errors
This removes the pool types, making everything 'mixed', but appending
the values to string and number valued constants. Specifying a pool type
in the *.golden header now prints a warning (for backwards compatibility).

Add a new bytecode to create a function context. The handler inlines

With this change the bytecode array builder only emits expression
positions for bytecodes that can throw. This allows more peephole
optimization opportunities and results in smaller code.

Bytecode expectations have been moved to external (.golden) files,
one per test. Each test in the suite builds a representation of the
the compiled bytecode using BytecodeExpectationsPrinter. The output is
then compared to the golden file. If the comparision fails, a textual
diff can be used to identify the discrepancies.
Only the test snippets are left in the cc file, which also allows to
make it more compact and meaningful. Leaving the snippets in the cc
file was a deliberate choice to allow keeping the "truth" about the
tests in the cc file, which will rarely change, as opposed to golden
files.
Golden files can be generated and kept up to date using
generate-bytecode-expectations, which also means that the test suite
can be batch updated whenever the bytecode or golden format changes.
The golden format has been slightly amended (no more comments about
`void*`, add size of the bytecode array) following the consideration
made while converting the tests.
There is also a fix: BytecodeExpectationsPrinter::top_level_ was left
uninitialized, leading to undefined behaviour.
