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).

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.

A few options and features have been added to the tool:
* an output file might be specified using --output=file.name
* a shortcut when the output file is also the input, which is handy
when fixing golden files, --rebaseline.
* the input snippet might be optionally not wrapped in a top function,
or not executed after compilation (--no-wrap and --no-execute).
* the name of the wrapper can be configured using --wrapper-name=foo
The same options can be configured via setters on the usual
BytecodeExpectationsPrinter.
The output file now includes all the relevant flags to reproduce it
when running again through the tool (usually with --rebaseline).
In particular, when running in --rebaseline mode, options from the
file header will override options specified in the command line.
A couple of other fixes and improvements:
* description of the handlers is now emitted (closing the TODO).
* the snippet is now correctly unquoted when double quotes are used.
* special registers (closure, context etc.) are now emitted as such,
instead of displaying their numeric value.
* the tool can now process top level code as well.

Now the tool produces a far more readable output format, which bears a
lot of resemblance to YAML. In fact, the output should be machine
parseable as such, one document per testcase. However, the output format
may be subject to changes in future, so don't rely on this property.
In general, the output format has been optimized for producing a meaningful
textual diff, while keeping a decent readability as well. Therefore, not
everything is as compact as it could be, e.g. for an empty const pool we get:
constant pool: [
]
instead of:
constant pool: []
Also, trailing commas are always inserted in lists.
Additionally, now the tool accepts its output format as input. When
operating in this mode, all the snippets are extracted, processed and
the output is then emitted as usual. If nothing has changed, the output
should match the input. This is very useful for catching bugs in the
bytecode generation by running a textual diff against a known-good file.
The core (namely bytecode-expectations.cc) has been extracted from the
original cc file, which provides the utility as usual. The definitions
in the matching header of the library have been moved into the
v8::internal::interpreter namespace.
The library exposes a class ExpectationPrinter, with a method
PrintExpectation, which takes a test snippet as input, and writes the
formatted expectation to the supplied stream. One might then use a
std::stringstream to retrieve the results as a string and run it through
a diff utility.
