1) Don't make a call to C without having a valid frame on the stack.
2) Don't generate a call to a stub while generating a stub, unless we can be
sure that the stub we are calling has already been generated (the stub
generation code is not reentrant wrt. GC).

Changing our builtin JavaScript code slightly, we can make sure that we never
see internal objects as arguments for ToBoolean at runtime. Removing that case
from the stub generator and crankshaft makes things a lot easier.
Heap numbers can never be undetectable (only strings and spec objects can), so
we can leave out a useless test.
Try to re-use a non-null register value when returning 'true' in some cases.
Removed special handling of the 'handle all' case, it will very probably never
happen in real code and only makes things more complicated.
Improved naming of the ToBoolean stubs a bit, reflecting the order in which
cases are handled in the code itself.

To do this, the Branch instruction needs to carry around a temporary register,
but only when the crankshafted code will make a map access. When the
crankshafted code sees an object of a type it hasn't encountered before, it will
always trigger a deopt. Another option in theses cases would be calling a
ToBooleanStub which can handle all types, but then one has to be careful to
*not* trigger a GC (which is currently a bit tricky to achieve).
Const-corrected ToBoolean::Types. Moved the NeedsMap logic into ToBoolean::Types
itself, where it belongs.
This patch improves a lot of benchmarks, crypto-orig even by 16.7%, but slows
down others. The slowdown has to be investigated, but I'd like to get this patch
out first to fix the flakiness problems we currently have due to the previous
crankshafted ToBoolean.

Loading the map within the stub already implies a check for an undetectable
object, so there is no need to record this separately. Furthermore, this brings
the size of the type info to record down to 8 bits, removing the need to find a
place for the ninth bit in the Code object. ;-)

The IC records the set of types it has seen, e.g. {String} or {Boolean,
Undefined}, etc. Note that in theory this could lead to a large number of
different ToBoolean ICs (512, to be exact, because we distinguish 9 types),
but in practice only a small handful of them are actually generated.
Currently the type recording part is only implemented on ia32, other platforms
continue to work like they did before, though.
Removed some dead code on the way.

Using a C++-style method PrintName (a.k.a. << ;-), things get a lot easier when
two unrelated concerns are separated. Stubs don't need a name cache anymore,
simpler code while generating the stub name, memory allocation is centralized,
etc.

Better support for 'polymorphic' JS and external arrays
Allow keyed store/load stubs to switch between external array and fast JS arrays without forcing a state transition to the generic stub.
There CL consists of two pieces of functionality. First, code stubs for fast element arrays don't immediately transition to the MEGAMORPHIC state when there's a map mismatch. Second, two ICs are cached per map for fast elements, the MONOMORPHIC version, and a new MEGAMORPHIC version that handles two or more different maps and dispatches to shared stubs to perform the array operation.

Non-moveable code-stube are allocated in large object space. They are only required on ARM where the different C-entry stubs are required to never move.
This gets rid of pre-computing these stubs and hope that they never move. Also for crankshaft the C-entry stub which saved doubles is not generated in the snapshot so it ends up being generated at runtime and potentially move.

The the call of the builtin in InstanceofStub was not correctly protected with an internal frame leading to the return address being handled as a pointer during GC.
Marked the Instanceof stub as allowing stub calls (the RecordWriteStub was removed some days ago).
This issue was not caught by the assertion designed for this when debug mode is run with --debug-code (which out tests always does) as generating code for Abort set the allow stub calls flag to true. This has been fixed by restoring the allow stub calls flag correctly.

in code.
This removes the need for fixups processing and makes the stubs safe
when there is no natives cache and therefore multiple versions of the
builtin functions.

callback load (or keyed load) IC.
The problem was that the IC code calls a stub, which can allocate and
thus trigger a GC if the stub is not already generated. Problem is
solved by adding the ability to "try" to call a stub, trying to
generate the stub code if necessary but signaling an allocation
failure if generating the code is not possible.

As the list of code-stubs is used in two places it is now handled through a macro to keep this in sync. As some code-stubs is only used on ARM the list have been split into two parts to indicate this and get rid of dummy implementation on ia32 and x64 platforms.

This is a trivial per-row compression:
- short aliases are introduced for events and code creation tags;
- in tick events, offsets are used instead of absolute addresses;
- removed 'code-allocation' event, as it seems not used.
The first two options are depend on the new flag: 'compress-log', which is off by default.
On benchmarks run w/o snapshot, this gives 45% log size reduction.

called from within a loop or not. In the past we lost the
information if a call site went megamorphic before a lazily
compiled callee was called for the first time. Now we track
that correctly (this is an issue that affects richards).
We still don't manage to track the in-loop state through a
constructor call, since constructor calls use LoadICs instead
of CallICs. This issue affects delta-blue. So in this patch
we assume that lazy compilations that don't happen through a
CallIC happen from inside a loop. I have an idea to fix this
but this patch is big enough already.
With our improved tracking of in-loop state I have switched
off the inlining of in-object loads for code that is not in
a loop. This benefits compile speed. One issue is that
eagerly compiled code now doesn't get the in-object loads
inlined. We need to eagerly compile less code to fix this.

This issue was raised by Brett Wilson while reviewing my changelist for readability. Craig Silverstein (one of C++ SG maintainers) confirmed that we should declare one namespace per line. Our way of namespaces closing seems not violating style guides (there is no clear agreement on it), so I left it intact.

Added a few samples and support for building them. The samples include a simple shell that can be used to benchmark and test V8.
Changed V8::GetVersion to return the version as a string.
Added source for lazily loaded scripts to snapshots and made serialization non-destructive.
Improved ARM support by fixing the write barrier code to use aligned loads and stores and by removing premature locals optimization that relied on broken support for callee-saved registers (removed).
Refactored the code for marking live objects during garbage collection and the code for allocating objects in paged spaces. Introduced an abstraction for the map word of a heap-allocated object and changed the memory allocator to allocate executable memory only for spaces that may contain code objects.
Moved StringBuilder to utils.h and ScopedLock to platform.h, where they can be used by debugging and logging modules. Added thread-safe message queues for dealing with debugger events.
Fixed the source code reported by toString for certain builtin empty functions and made sure that the prototype property of a function is enumerable.
Improved performance of converting values to condition flags in generated code.
Merged disassembler-{arch} files.
