The current CHECK/DCHECK implementation fails statically if a signed
value is compared against an unsigned value. The common solution is to
cast on each caller, which is tedious and error-prone (might hide bugs).
This CL implements signed vs. unsigned comparisons by executing up to
two comparisons. For example, if i is int32_t and u is uint_32_t, a
DCHECK_LE(i, u) would create the check
i <= 0 || static_cast<uint32_t>(i) <= u.
For checks against constants, at least one of the checks can be removed
by compiler optimizations.
The tradeoff we have to make is to sometimes silently execute an
additional comparison. And we increase code complexity of course, even
though the usage is just as easy (or even easier) as before.
The compile time impact seems to be minimal:
I ran 3 full compilations for Optdebug on my local machine, one time on
the current ToT, one time with this CL plus http://crrev.com/2524093002.
Before: 143.72 +- 1.21 seconds
Now: 144.18 +- 0.67 seconds
In order to check that the new comparisons are working, I refactored
some DCHECKs in wasm to use the new magic, and added unit test cases.

Reason for revert:
Seems to cause compile errors on Android. Will investigate on Monday.

This not only potentially improves performance, but also avoids weird
linker errors, like the one below, where I used Smi::kMinValue in a
DCHECK_EQ.
