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.

- 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).

in preparation of the introduction of ES6 'symbols' (aka private/unique names).
The SymbolTable became the StringTable. I also made sure to adapt all comments. The only remaining use of the term "symbol" (other than unrelated uses in the parser and such) is now 'NewSymbol' in the API and the 'V8.KeyedLoadGenericSymbol' counter, changing which might break embedders.
The one functional change in this CL is that I removed the former 'empty_string' constant, since it is redundant given the 'empty_symbol' constant that we also had (and both were used inconsistently).

This includes:
* Adding support for saving callee-clobbered double registers in Crankshaft code.
* Adding a new "HTrapAllocationMemento" hydrogen instruction to handle AllocationSiteInfo data in crankshafted stubs.
* Adding a new "HAllocate" hydrogen instruction that can allocate raw memory from the GC in crankshafted code.
* Support for manipulation of the hole in HChange instructions for Crankshafted stubs.
* Utility routines to manually build loops and if statements containing hydrogen code.

The previous duplication is quite bad from an architectural point of
view. Furthermore, it messes up the output of --hydrogen-stats.
As remarked in a comment, there is still more unification work to do, but at
least this CL is a step in the right direction...

When code objects in the heap for FUNCTIONs and OPTIMIZED_FUNCTIONs are marked by the GC, their prologue is patched with a call to a stub that removes the patch. This allows the collector to quickly identify code objects that haven't been executed since the last full collection (they are the ones that sill contain the patch). The functionality is currently disabled, but can be activated by specifying the "--age-code".

This includes specialcasing the generation when we know that the maps
of the two objects are the same. In addition, a new specialized
compare ic known objects cache is created.
The reason for the cache is that we need to have access to the stub
code from the roots; if we do not, the GC will collect the stub. In
this specialized case we use the map pointer as key in the cache, and
we always do a lookup before generating code. Actually hitting
something in the cache will happen very rarely, but we could
potentially overwrite an existing stub, which again will lead to the
GC collecting this old stub (even if it is referenced from other code
objects)

This CL introduces a third mode next to the non-strict
(henceforth called 'classic mode') and 'strict mode'
which is called 'extended mode' as in the current
ES.next specification drafts. The extended mode is based on
the 'strict mode' and adds new functionality to it. This
means that most of the semantics of these two modes
coincide.
The 'extended mode' is entered instead of the 'strict mode'
during parsing when using the 'strict mode' directive
"use strict" and when the the harmony-scoping flag is
active. This should be changed once it is fully specified how the 'extended mode' is entered.
This change introduces a new 3 valued enum LanguageMode
(see globals.h) corresponding to the modes which is mostly
used by the frontend code. This includes the following
components:
* (Pre)Parser
* Compiler
* SharedFunctionInfo, Scope and ScopeInfo
* runtime functions: StoreContextSlot,
ResolvePossiblyDirectEval, InitializeVarGlobal,
DeclareGlobals
The old enum StrictModeFlag is still used in the backend
when the distinction between the 'strict mode' and the 'extended mode' does not matter. This includes:
* SetProperty runtime function, Delete builtin
* StoreIC and KeyedStoreIC
* StubCache

Original commit message:
Add a level of indirection to exception handler addresses.
To support deoptimization of exception handlers, the handler address in the
stack is converted to a pair of code object and an index into a separate
table of code offsets. The index part is invariant under deoptimization.
The index is packed into the handler state field so that handler size does
not change.

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.

The declaration of the ToBoolean class moved to the platform-independent part
and its implementations are now structurally very similar. This is just an
intermediate cleanup step to add type recording at the call site.
Note that the MIPS implementation has not really been touched, so it should
continue to work, too.

Mainly, there were errors concerning blank lines before and after class access
control sections [whitespace/blank_line].
BEFORE an access control section (e.g. public:, private:) there should be a
blank line (except for the section right after the class declaration).
AFTER an access control section there should be no blank line.
