56ab3e3404 Import the v8-i18n extension into v8
This adds the gyp flag v8_enable_i18n_support (off by default), and the
v8 flag FLAG_enable_i18n (on by default, but without effect if
v8_enable_i18n_support is off).

83519ec87a Hydrogen array constructor cleanup and improvements
* Cleanup of LCallNewArray::PrintDataTo() method
* Created HCallNewArray::PrintDataTo()
* Created many more tests in array-constructor-feedback.js
* Removed redundant instructions in
  GenerateRecordCallTarget
* Bugfix in CreateArrayDispatchOneArgument: on a call to
  new Array(0), we'd like to set the type feedback cell to
  a packed elements kind, but we shouldn't do it if the
  cell contains the megamorphic sentinel.
* When used from crankshaft, ArrayConstructorStubs can
  avoid verifying that the function being called is the
  array function from the current native context, relying
  instead on the fact that crankshaft issues an
  HCheckFunction to protect the constructor call. (this
  new minor key is used in LCodeGen::DoCallNewArray(), and
  influences code generation in
  CodeStubGraphBuilderBase::BuildArrayConstructor()).
* Optimization: the array constructor specialized for
  FAST_SMI_ELEMENTS can save some instructions by looking
  up the correct map on the passed in constructor, rather
  than indexing into the array of cached maps per element
  kind.

3f09e0a3d8 Remove separate maps for function instances
ES3 specified that functions created via Function() would have
enumerable prototypes, unlike function literals.  For this reason, V8
has always had two prototypes for functions: "function_map" for
literals, and "function_instance_map" for "function instances": those
functions created by Function().

However, since 2009 or so, both maps have been the same!  Both have had
writable, non-enumerable prototypes.  Moreover, ES5 changed to specify
that function instances would have non-enumerable prototypes.

This patch removes the separate maps for function instances in sloppy
and strict mode.

83d4a41dec ES6 symbols: turn symbols into a proper primitive type
(qua last week's TC39)

Specifically:
- Install Symbol constructor function on the global object.
- Adjust code generation for typeof.
- Remove IsSymbol built-in, IS_SYMBOL macro now defined using typeof.
- Remove hack that allowed symbols as constructor results, and some other special cases.
- Remove symbol_delegate and GetDelegate function.
- Extend ToBoolean stub to handle symbols.
- Extend ToNumber to return NaN on symbols.
- Poison symbol's toString function, and thereby ToString on symbols.

2aabf6257d Add workaround for redefinition of __proto__ property.
This is a temporary workaround when the __proto__ property is being
redefined (e.g. by Object.freeze()) to not loose the foreign callback.
Once the __proto__ property is a real JavaScript accessor this hack is
no longer necessary. This change also makes __proto__ configurable.

5c93b18eb2 ES6 symbols: Allow symbols as property names
Since symbols and strings share a common representation, most of this change is about consistently replacing 'String' with 'Name' in all places where property names are expected. In particular, no new logic at all is necessary for maps, property dictionaries, or transitions. :) The only places where an actual case distinction is needed have to do with generated type checks, and with conversions of names to strings (especially in logger and profiler).

Left in some TODOs wrt to the API: interceptors and native getters don't accept symbols as property names yet, because that would require extending the external v8.h.

Addresses missing cases for array literals.
Adds support for "new Array()" call sites. This isn't complete yet, I have to run with --noinline_new.

090d09d685 ES6 symbols: Implement Symbol intrinsic and basic functionality
- Add --harmony-symbols flag.
- Add Symbol constructor; allow symbols as (unreplaced) return value from constructors.
- Introduce %CreateSymbol and %_IsSymbol natives and respective instructions.
- Extend 'typeof' code generation to handle symbols.
- Extend CompareIC with a UNIQUE_NAMES state that (uniformly) handles internalized strings and symbols.
- Property lookup delegates to SymbolDelegate object for symbols, which only carries the toString method.
- Extend Object.prototype.toString to recognise symbols.

Per the current draft spec, symbols are actually pseudo objects that are frozen with a null prototype and only one property (toString). For simplicity, we do not treat them as proper objects for now, although typeof will return "object". Only property access works as if they were (frozen) objects (via the internal delegate object).
