1e9a7267ab Introduce extended mode.
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

e8bccc2cb0 Block scoped const variables.
This implements block scoped 'const' declared variables in harmony mode. They
have a temporal dead zone semantics similar to 'let' bindings, i.e. accessing
uninitialized 'const' bindings in throws a ReferenceError.

As for 'let' bindings, the semantics of 'const' bindings in global scope is not
correctly implemented yet. Furthermore assignments to 'const's are silently
ignored. Another CL will introduce treatment of those assignments as early
errors.

c6c504f8b6 Parse harmony let declarations.
Implementation of the harmony block scoped let bindings as proposed here:
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:block_scoped_bindings

Changes to the syntax are explained there. They are active under the
harmony_block_scoping_ flag in the parser.
