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.

Worth mentioning:
- Specialized versions of pixel array and store/loads inside the generic stubs have been removed, since to have parity for all external arrays, 8 different versions would have to be inlined/checked.
- There's a new constant in v8.h for external arrays with pixel array elements.

If the instance of is performed against what is beliwed to be a constant global function inline the instance of check and have the call to the instanceof stub in deferred code. The inlined check will be patched by the instanceof stub when called from deferred code. This is indicated by the lithium instruction LInstanceOfKnownGlobal.
To help the patching the delta from the return address to the patch site is placed just below the return address in the edi slot of the pushad/popad ares. This is safe because the edi register (which is pushed last) is a temporary for the lithium instruction.
As the instanceof stub can call other JavaScript an additional marking for saving all double registers have been added.
Also tweaked the instanceof stub to produce true/false objects instead of 0/1 for the case with deferred code.

Change more functions used by the Compiler class to have a uniform
interface: they get passed as argument an input/output pointer to a
CompilationInfo that they mutate if they succeed, and they return a
flag telling whether they succeeded.
Also, remove some unnecessary timers.

Contextual load requires only a map check followed by a cell hole
check so we can generate pretty compact code for that. The fact that
we have inlined code is marked by mov ecx, offset instruction after
the IC call. Inlining is only enabled inside loops and in non-builtin
functions.
The generated code size increase is about 3%. This descreased the
pc-to-code cache hit rate in some of the benchmarks that trigger
GC. To compensate we now have 4 times as much entries in the cache.

the code object's instructions.
This allows us to find a code object using just the pc. This approach
uses a cache (PcToCodeCache) to make sure we don't continuously have
to iterate heap pages.
This change eliminates the need for cooking and uncooking of stack frames.

r5147 wrongly assumed that a code cache for a slow case map is always empty.
This patch solves this: whenever we attempt to add a stub to a map's code cache
we check that this map is cached. If it is we give the object its own copy
of the map and only then modify the map.

Object model changes
----------------------------------------
New fixed_cow_array_map is used for the elements array of a JSObject
to mark it as COW. The JSObject's map and other fields are not
affected. The JSObject's map still has the "fast elements" bit set. It
means we can do only the receiver map check in keyed loads and the
receiver and the elements map checks in keyed stores. So introducing
COW arrays doesn't hurt performance of these operations. But note that
the elements map check is necessary in all mutating operations because
the "has fast elements" bit now means "has fast elements for reading".
EnsureWritableFastElements can be used in runtime functions to perform
the necessary lazy copying.
Generated code changes
----------------------------------------
Generic keyed load is updated to only do the receiver map check (this
could have been done earlier). FastCloneShallowArrayStub now has two
modes: clone elements and use COW elements. AssertFastElements macro
is added to check the elements when necessary. The custom call IC
generators for Array.prototype.{push,pop} are updated to avoid going
to the slow case (and patching the IC) when calling the builtin should
work.
COW enablement
----------------------------------------
Currently we only put shallow and simple literal arrays in the COW
mode. This is done by the parser.

The IC stub is completely generic, so there will only be one such stub
in the system.
Added a new overloaded version of the macro assembler RecordWrite
method for cases where we have the address we store to computed up
front.

Similar or duplicate checks are scattered around the code before doing the dictionary load.
Also the entire branch in GenerateCallNormal that handles global/builtin receiver is
guaranteed to bail out from GenerateDictionaryLoad, so there is no point in generating it at all.
The purpose of the patch is:
- making C++ code more compact and transparent,
- not generating dead code.
There is a tiny performance gain. The patch is ia32 only for now.
Please tell me if I am missing anything.

* Faster hashing for sequential strings.
* When adding short external two-byte strings try to convert them
back to ascii. Chances are high the embedder uses two-byte
representation even for ascii strings. This optimization saves
memory and makes hashing faster.

NumberToString in runtime JavaScript is inlined through a call to a stub. Currently the stub only checks the number string cache and only if the number is a smi. Code is shared with the inlining of number string cache lookup when adding a smi to a string.
