Now a map points to a transition array which contains the descriptor array. The descriptor array is now immutable. The next step is to share the descriptor array with all back-pointed maps as long as there is a single line of extension. Maps that require a descriptor array but don't need transitions will still need a pseudo-empty transition array to contain the descriptor array.

Using insertion-sort won't have too much of an overhead for the short arrays for bootstrapping (which are probably snapshot anyway).
CopyAppendCallbackDescriptors was extending and sorting the array in a loop. By using an append that inserts at the right position we do not need to resort in each iteration.
Additionally remove Sort and rename SortUnchecked to Sort. The IsSortedNoDuplicates check is moved into InitializeDescriptor.

AccessorPair related transitions are now also stored as single map links, simplifying the code that handles transitions. AccessorPairs can now be shared between descriptor arrays, since they can only be mutated after another transition anyway; during which the pair is copied before writing.

The LastAdded points to the descriptor that was last added to the array. From the descriptor we can deduce the NextEnumerationIndex. This allows us to quickly find the property that we are transitioning to, which is necessary for transition-intensive code, eg JSON parsing.

In this design maps contain descriptor arrays, which in turn can contain transition arrays. If transitions are needed when no descriptor array is present, a descriptor array without real descriptors is inserted just so it can point at the transition array.
The transition array does not contain details about the field it transitions to. In order to weed out transitions to FIELDs from CONSTANT_FUNCTION (what used to be MAP_TRANSITION vs CONSTANT_TRANSITION), the transition needs to be followed and the details need to be looked up in the target map. CALLBACKS transitions are still easy to recognize since the transition targets are stored as an AccessorPair containing the maps, rather than the maps directly.
Currently AccessorPairs containing a transition and an accessor are shared between the descriptor array and the transition array. This simplifies lookup since we only have to look in one of both arrays. This will change in subsequent revisions, when descriptor arrays will become shared between multiple maps, since transitions cannot be shared.

Instead of overwriting non-live transitions with NULL_DESCRIPTORs, we remove them from the array by compacting the array (shifting live values to the left) and in-place trimming the array. If the final descriptor array contains no live values (only contained transitions which are now all cleared), we move bit_field3 back from the descriptor array to the map. The descriptor array itself will be collected in the next GC.

- Ensure that IsFound() is only used when not in combination with other
checks. To do so, the default type is NONEXISTENT rather than NORMAL;
and NotFound() also resets the type to NONEXISTENT.
- Use test methods rather than .type() == A_PROPERTY_TYPE.

The old HashMap class had an explicit member to determine the allocation
policy. The template version matches the approach used already for
lists.
Cleanup some include dependencies and unnecessary forward declarations.
Cleanup some dead code from isolate.h and replace some HEAP macros
with GetHeap().

To test the upcoming changes for map sharing in the presence of accessors, it is
essential that we keep a few global invariants: The map tree should always stay
a tree and AccessorPairs should not be shared between different DescriptorArrays
and/or StringDictionaries. This CL adds a test method for the latter invariant
and makes some changes to the bootstrapping process to avoid such sharing.
Note that we can't enable the new test method permanently yet, because we
currently go back and forth between fast mode and slow mode when adding an
accessor and break this invariant temporarily. This will be handled in a
separate CL.

Yak shaving for map sharing with accessor properties contd.: When CALLBACKS can
have map transitions, simply looking at the property type is not sufficient
anymore to decide if a property is there or not. One has to look at the actual
contents of the descriptor entry then, but this breaks down sometimes when the
lookup is being done with a NULL holder. Luckily enough, we can oftren replace
IsProperty by the simpler IsFound, because we inspect the type immediately
afterwards, anyway.

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

This implementation extends the internal ObjectHashTable to be able to
hold arbitrary objects (e.g. Smis, Strings, ...) as keys by applying
specialized hashing functions to primitive types. Equality of keys is
defined using the internal SameValue function.
