Allow keyed store/load stubs to switch between external array and fast JS arrays without forcing a state transition to the generic stub.
There CL consists of two pieces of functionality. First, code stubs for fast element arrays don't immediately transition to the MEGAMORPHIC state when there's a map mismatch. Second, two ICs are cached per map for fast elements, the MONOMORPHIC version, and a new MEGAMORPHIC version that handles two or more different maps. Currently, the only array types supported by the MEGAMORPHIC stub are fast elements for objects and JSArrays.

Switched to using binary low-level log instead of the textual log used
by the ticks processor. The binary log contains code-related events,
code object names, and their bodies. When writing to the log we ask
glibc to use a larger buffer. To avoid complex processing of the
snapshot log (which is still textual) the serializer emits final
snapshot position to code name mappings that can be quickly be read
without replaying the snapshot log. (This might be useful for the
ticks processor.)

While trying to fix Mac and Windows versions for this change:
http://codereview.chromium.org/6771047/, I figured out, that we
already store an isolate in StackFrameIterator, so we can use it in
frame objects, instead of requiring it from caller.
I've changed iterators usage to the following scheme: whenever a
caller maintains an isolate pointer, it just passes it to stack
iterator, and no more worries about passing it to frame content
accessors. If a caller uses current isolate, it can omit passing it
to iterator, in this case, an iterator will use the current isolate,
too.
There was a special case with LiveEdit, which creates
detached copies of frame objects.

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.

The main issue was due to multiple recompilations of functions. Now
code objects are grouped by function using SFI object address.
JSFunction objects are no longer tracked, instead we track SFI object
moves. To pick a correct code version, we now sample return addresses
instead of JSFunction addresses.
tools/{linux|mac|windows}-tickprocessor scripts differentiate
between code optimization states for the same function
(using * and ~ prefixes introduced earlier).
DevTools CPU profiler treats all variants of function code as
a single function.
ll_prof treats each optimized variant as a separate entry, because
it can disassemble each one of them.
tickprocessor.py not updated -- it is deprecated and will be removed.

the only platform that it works on is linux (using the prctl API to set the
names of the threads). Other platforms are setup to build properly if the
flag is set, but their thread names are not currently set.

An attempt to retrieve security context for a function may fail if the
destination heap space is in an incomplete state. To fix this, we only
record unknown functions discovered at GC object moves, and then
register them after GC completes.

Since 2.6.31 perf_events interface has been available in the
kernel. There's a nice tool called "perf" (linux-2.6/tools/perf) that
uses this interface and provides capabilities similar to oprofile. The
simplest form of its usage is just dumping the raw log (trace) of
events generated by the kernel. In this patch I'm adding a script
(tools/ll_prof.py) to build profiles based on perf trace and our code
log. All the heavy-lifting is done by perf. Compared to oprofile agent
this approach does not require recompilation and supports code moving
garbage collections.
Expected usage is documented in the ll_prof's help. Basically one
should run V8 under perf passing --ll-prof flag and then the produced
logs can be analyzed by tools/ll_prof.py.
The new --ll-prof flag enables logging of generated code object
locations and names (like --log-code), and also of their bodies, which
can be later disassembled and annotated by the script.

The cause for missing functions is that some of them are created
from compiled code (see FastNewClosureStub), and thus not get
registered in profiler's code map.
My solution is to hook on GC visitor to provide JS functions
addresses to profiler, only if it is enabled.

When running profiling in debug mode, several assertions in frame
iterators that are undoubtedly useful when iterator is started from a
VM thread in a known "good" state, may fail when running over a stack
of a suspended VM thread. This patch makes SafeStackFrameIterator
to proactively check addresses and bail out from iteration early,
before an assertion will be triggered.

As several pages can run in a single V8 instance, it is possible to
have functions from different security contexts intermixed in a single
CPU profile. To avoid exposing function names from one page to
another, filtering is introduced.
The basic idea is that instead of capturing return addresses from
stack, we're now capturing JSFunction addresses (as we anyway work
only with JS stack frames.) Each JSFunction can reach out for
context's security token. When providing a profile to a page, the
profile is filtered using the security token of caller page. Any
functions with different security tokens are filtered out (yes, we
only do fast path check for now) and their ticks are attributed to
their parents.

This is to make possible enabling usage of the new profiling subsystem
in Chromium without much hassle. The idea is pretty simple: unless the
new profiling API is used, all works as usual, as soon as Chromium
starts to use the new API, it will work too.

In browser (DevTools) mode, only non-native JS code and callbacks are reported.
Also, added "(garbage collector)" entry which accumulates samples count in GC state.
Trying to display "(compiler)" and "(external)" only brings confusion,
because it ends up in displaying scripts code under "(compiler)" node, and DOM
event handlers under "(external)" node, which looks weird.
