For objects which only have simple assignments of the form this.x = ...; a
specialized constructor stub is now generated. This generated code allocates the
object and fills in the initial properties directly. If this fails for some
reason code continues in the generic constructor stub which in turn might pass
control to the runtime system.
Added counter to see how many objects are constructed using a specialized stub.
The specialized stub is only implemented for ia32 architecture in this change.
For x64 and ARM the generic construct stub is used.
This is change is identical to http://codereview.chromium.org/174392 (committed in r2753 and reverted in r2754) except that a few parts have already been committed from http://codereview.chromium.org/173469 (committed in r2762).

When copying a map always set the descriptor array to describe the pre-allocated properties, even when descriptors are to be dropped.
Added a test which otherwise failed with an assert on ARM in debug mode. The reason for it only surfasing on ARM is that the NewObject runtime function is always used for allocating new JSObjects on ARM.
This change includes a few parts of http://codereview.chromium.org/174392 needed to trigger the error.

Don't copy the ENV variable from the users's external environment into
construction environments. SCons uses this as a dictionary of environment
values for the commands it executes.
BUG=none
TEST=build with the variable ENV set in the user environment

-fstrict-aliasing is enabled by mainline gcc at -O2 and higher, but in Apple
gcc, it must be enabled explicitly. This results in a 1.5% improvement in V8
benchmark scores.
This also removes the -fno-exceptions and -fno-rtti settings from v8.gyp for
the Mac, and removes -fno-rtti from v8.gyp for Linux, because these settings
have become part of Chromium's common.gypi, included here, as of r23304 at the
latest. The settings in v8.gyp have become redundant.

system can't currently process stacks produced by gcc -fomit-frame-pointer
properly. The drawback outweighs the 2% performance improvement. Once
the crash reporting system is able to handle this optimization, it should be
revisited.

Android system provides a unique feature that it sends a notification to the
browser in low memory condition, and the browser cleans up cache and frees
resources. Forcing a GC in low memory condition can free DOM objects and also
can shrink the old spaces.

I would prefer to not use the flags to signal that a compacting collection is
requested.

Make sure that the DummyScope top level scope used for pre-parsing have all members initialized. The type of this scope is set to global scope as it is a top level scope. Also ensure that the "naked" Scope constructor can only be used by sub-classes of Scope.
The bug of missing initiaalization of members in the DummyScope was found by Valgrind.

Additionally fix NewSpace capacity bug by removing the duplicated
capacity and maximum capacity book keeping. The capacity and maximum
capacity of NewSpace is the capacity and maximum capacity of one of
it's semispaces.

These files will make it possible to start working with the 64-bit version on Windows.
The GUID's of the x64 project files are the same as their ia32 counterparts, but that does not matter as they will never be used in the same solution.
Added a temporary #error when building 64-bit version on Windows.

During parsing functions are analyzed for statements of the form this.x = ...;. These assignments are categorized in two types: simple and non simple. The simple ones are where the right hand side is known to be either a constant or an argument to the function. If a function only contains statements of this type the property names are collected and for the simple assignments the index of the argument or the constant value assigned are stored as well.
When the initial map for a function is created and the function consists of only this type of assignemnts the initial map is created with a descriptor array describing these properties which will be known to always exist in an object created from the function.
The information on this property assignments is not collected during pre-parsing so if compiling using pre-parse data these optimization hints are not available.
Next step will be to use the information collected for the simple assignments to generate constructor code which will create and initialize the object from this information without calling the code for the function.
