1. Added gdb style debugger commands (and their shortcuts) for d8.
These include:
- s[tep] : step into the current statement.
- s[tep]i[n]: step into the current statement with the minimum step.
- n[ext] : step to the next statement.
- fin[ish] : step out of the current function.
- cond : setting conditions on breakpoints.
- d[elete] : deletes breakpoints.
- en[able]|dis[able]: enables/disables breakpoints including
exception breakpoints.
- ignore : ignores a breakpoint for a specified period.
- inf[o] ar[gs] : info on arguments of the current function.
- inf[o] lo[cals] : info on local vars of the current function.
- inf[o] br[eakpoints] : info on breakpoints.
- l[ist] : similar to source, but allows the user to continually
dump subsequent lines of source code either in the
forward or backward direction.
- quit / exit / disconnect : terminates the remote debugger
session.
NOTE: Active breakpoints will automatically be disabled when
the remote debugger detaches. This allows v8 to continue to
run without worrying about a loss of a debugger session.
2. Added support for breaking the debugger by simply typing ENTER.
The break command is now optional.
3. Once the debugger is broken, the user can now just type ENTER
to repeat the last command. This is useful to functionality that
needs to be invoked repeatedly e.g. step, list.
4. Added more verbose descriptions in d8's help.
5. Fixed a line and column number offset bug in the listing of breakpoint
line and column numbers.
6. Added a gc command to allow GCs to be requested from the debugger
interface. The plumbing for requesting different types of GCs is
there, but the underlying implementation currently only triggers a
full mark-compact GC. The command also returns the before and after
sizes of the heap.
7. Added trace json, and flags commands that are not published in help.
trace json is used for tracing the debugger packets send from and
received by d8. flags is for setting v8 flags. These are useful for
people debugging v8 itself, but not necessarily users of v8.
8. Added the ability to enable and disable break on all / uncaught
exceptions in to d8.
9. Added a fix to prevent the Debugger Agent from being re-instantiated
if one already exists.
10. Added the ability to filter results of the script command by matching
text or numbers on the results.
11. Added v8 flags to enable/disable the sending of debugger BeforeCompile,
AfterCompile, and ScriptCollected events.
12. Fixed some undefined value bugs that resulted in v8 or the debugger
failing.
13. Added a few minor WEBOS__ customizations (analogous to ANDROID
customizations).

In the past we only accepted functions as argument for setting an
accessor. Since one should be able to set an accessor to undefined
this had to be changed to take either.
In addition, we did not lookup properties in the prototype chain,
causing us to call the setter of an existing accessor up the prototype
chain when trying to replace an existing accessor (that was not local)
with a data property.

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.

inline allocation code used the expected number of properties to
calculate the number of inobject properties for an object instead of
getting the actual number from the initial map.
It is safer to use the inobject property count from the initial map in
any case because that is the amount the instances will get. I think
this disconnect got introduced when adding shrinking of objects.
Unfortuntely I haven't been able to create a simple reproduction for a
test case but this fixes the webpage that exhibits the crash. I'll see
if I can create a reproduction tomorrow.

The number of inobject properties used to be derived from the number
of this property assignments in the constructor (and increased by 2 to
allow for properties added later). This very often leads to wasted inobject
slots.
This patch reclaims some of the unused inobject space by the following method:
- for each constructor function the first several objects are allocated using the initial
("generous) instance size estimation (this is called 'tracking phase').
- during the tracking phase map transitions are tracked and actual property counts are collected.
- at the end of the tracking phase instance sizes in the maps are decreased if necessary
(starting with the function's initial map and traversing the transition tree).
- all further allocation use more realistic instance size estimation.
Shrinking generously allocated objects without costly heap traversal is made possible
by initializing their inobject properties with one_pointer_filler_map (instead of undefined).
The initial slack for the generous allocation is increased from 2 to 6 which really helps some tests.
