First of all, it has nothing to do with Isolates, it is related to the assembler
at hand. Furthermore, the saving/restoring is platform-independent. Cleaned up
some platform-specific stuff on the way.
Note that there are some things which still need some cleanup, like e.g. using
EnumSet instead of uint64_t, making Probe() more uniform across platforms etc.,
but the CL is already big enough.

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.

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).

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.

This function relies on a number of helpers for checking prototypes and
probing dictionaries. It is not possible to wrap these helpers to retry
after allocation failure in a safe way---the assembler has no way to undo
what it has already assembled.
These functions have all been duplicated with handle and raw versions. The
raw versions will eventually be removed completely.

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).

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.

In my previous change I mixed up "compare" and "equals". This made us
miss the fast length check before comparing strings for equality.
Now we have a separate helper for "equals". It shares some of the
inner loop details with "compare". I'll see if this can be cleaned up
without making it unreadable.

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.
