Modules now have their own local scope, represented by their own context.
Module instance objects have an accessor for every export that forwards
access to the respective slot from the module's context. (Exports that are
modules themselves, however, are simple data properties.)
All modules have a _hosting_ scope/context, which (currently) is the
(innermost) enclosing global scope. To deal with recursion, nested modules
are hosted by the same scope as global ones.
For every (global or nested) module literal, the hosting context has an
internal slot that points directly to the respective module context. This
enables quick access to (statically resolved) module members by 2-dimensional
access through the hosting context. For example,
module A {
let x;
module B { let y; }
}
module C { let z; }
allocates contexts as follows:
[header| .A | .B | .C | A | C ] (global)
| | |
| | +-- [header| z ] (module)
| |
| +------- [header| y ] (module)
|
+------------ [header| x | B ] (module)
Here, .A, .B, .C are the internal slots pointing to the hosted module
contexts, whereas A, B, C hold the actual instance objects (note that every
module context also points to the respective instance object through its
extension slot in the header).
To deal with arbitrary recursion and aliases between modules,
they are created and initialized in several stages. Each stage applies to
all modules in the hosting global scope, including nested ones.
1. Allocate: for each module _literal_, allocate the module contexts and
respective instance object and wire them up. This happens in the
PushModuleContext runtime function, as generated by AllocateModules
(invoked by VisitDeclarations in the hosting scope).
2. Bind: for each module _declaration_ (i.e. literals as well as aliases),
assign the respective instance object to respective local variables. This
happens in VisitModuleDeclaration, and uses the instance objects created
in the previous stage.
For each module _literal_, this phase also constructs a module descriptor
for the next stage. This happens in VisitModuleLiteral.
3. Populate: invoke the DeclareModules runtime function to populate each
_instance_ object with accessors for it exports. This is generated by
DeclareModules (invoked by VisitDeclarations in the hosting scope again),
and uses the descriptors generated in the previous stage.
4. Initialize: execute the module bodies (and other code) in sequence. This
happens by the separate statements generated for module bodies. To reenter
the module scopes properly, the parser inserted ModuleStatements.

- The global object has a reference to the current global scope chain.
Running a script adds to the chain if it contains global lexical declarations.
- Scripts are executed relative to a global, not a native context.
- Harmony let and const bindings are allocated to the innermost global context;
var and function still live on the global object.
(Lexical bindings are not reflected on the global object at all,
but that will probably change later using accessors, as for modules.)
- Compilation of scripts now needs a (global) context (previously only eval did).
- The global scope chain represents one logical scope, so collision tests take
the chain into account.

Specifically:
- In parser, check that all exports are defined.
- Move JSModule allocation from parser to scope resolution.
- Move JSModule linking from full codegen to scope resolution.
- Implement module accessors for exported value members.
- Allocate module contexts statically along with JSModules
(to allow static linking), but chain them when module literal is evaluated.
- Make module contexts' extension slot refer to resp. JSModule
(makes modules' ScopeInfo accessible from context).
- Some other tweaks to context handling in general.
- Make any code containing module literals (and thus embedding
static references to JSModules) non-cacheable.
This enables accessing module instance objects as expected.
Import declarations are a separate feature and do not work yet.

The CompilationInfo record now saves a Zone, and the compiler pipeline
allocates memory from the Zone in the CompilationInfo. Before
compiling a function, we create a Zone on the stack and save a pointer
to that Zone to the CompilationInfo; which then gets picked up and
allocated from.

This changes the compiler to be more aggressive about lazy compilation
of closures with non-trivial outer context. Compilation can only be
triggered with a valid outer context now. One exception is the debugger,
which can request compilation of arbitrary shared code, but it ensures
to trigger compilation only at points where no context is needed.
This relands r11782, r11783, r11790 and a minor fix.

Constructs the (generally cyclic) graph of module instance objects
and populates their exports. Any exports other than nested modules
are currently set to 'undefined' (but already present as properties).
Details:
- Added new type JSModule for instance objects: a JSObject carrying a context.
- Statically allocate instance objects for all module literals (in parser 8-}).
- Extend interfaces to record and unify concrete instance objects,
and to support iteration over members.
- Introduce new runtime function for pushing module contexts.
- Generate code for allocating, initializing, and setting module contexts,
and for populating instance objects from module literals.
Currently, all non-module exports are still initialized with 'undefined'.
- Module aliases are resolved statically, so no special code is required.
- Make sure that code containing module constructs is never optimized
(macrofy AST node construction flag setting while we're at it).
- Add test case checking linkage.

I also discovered that our treatment of const declarations is inconsistent
when inside a global eval under 'with' (i.e., when created by
DeclareContextSlots). That is,
var x;
eval("const x = 9")
and
var x;
eval("with({}) const x = 9")
differ (the former assigns 9, the latter throws). This appears to be an
oversight from earlier changes to our const semantics (the latter shouldn't
throw either). Fixing this is a separate issue, though (and one that doesn't
seem quite worthwhile).

Do proper dispatch on declaration type instead of mingling together
different code generation paths. Once we add more declaration forms,
this is more scalable.
In separate steps, I'd like to (1) clean up the logic for DeclareGlobal,
and (2) try to reduce the special handling of the name function var if
possible.

According to ES5 10.4.2(3), eval calls of strict code always require
their own lexical and variable environment. For now we just add a new
scope when we parse the strict mode directive. The clean solution would
be to always have this sope present (even for global eval calls) and
adapt variable binding to cope with that.

This is a preparatory step for using the HashMap clas with Literal keys in the
full code generator. It removes some duplicated code already and removes the
need for 2 HashMaps at each use, which was overly complicated.
Removed one dead function on the way.

All module expressions, and all variables that might refer to modules,
are assigned interfaces (module types) that are resolved using
unification. This is necessary to deal with the highly recursive
nature of ES6 modules, which does not allow any kind of bottom-up
strategy for resolving module names and paths.
Error messages are rudimental right now. Probably need to track
more information to make them nicer.

This change enables optimization of top-level and eval-code. For this to work, it adds
support for declaring global variables in optimized code.
At the same time it disables the eager generation of deoptimization support data
in the full code generator (originally introduced in
r10040). This speeds up initial compilation and saves
memory for functions that won't be optimized. It requires
recompiling the function with deoptimization
support when we decide to optimize it.
