Condition variables are synchronization primitives that can be used
to block one or more threads while waiting for condition to become
true.
Right now we have only semaphores, mutexes and atomic operations for
synchronization, which results in quite complex solutions where an
implementation using condition variables and mutexes would be straight
forward.
There's also a performance benefit to condition variables and mutexes
vs semaphores, especially on Windows, where semaphores are kernel
objects, while mutexes are implemented as fast critical sections,
it CAN be beneficial performance-wise to use condition variables
instead of semaphores.

Drop the previous Mutex and ScopedLock classes from platform files.
Add new Mutex, RecursiveMutex and LockGuard classes, which are
designed after their C++11 counterparts, so that at some point
we can simply drop our custom code and switch to the C++11
classes. We distinguish regular and recursive mutexes, as the
latter don't work well with condition variables, which will be
introduced by a followup CL.

These classes are meant to replace OS::Ticks() and OS::TimeCurrentMillis(),
which are broken in several ways. The ElapsedTimer class implements a
stopwatch using TimeTicks::HighResNow() for high resolution, monotonic
timing.
Also fix the CpuProfile::GetStartTime() and CpuProfile::GetEndTime()
methods to actually return the time relative to the unix epoch as stated
in the documentation (previously that was relative to some arbitrary
point in time, i.e. boot time).
The previous Windows issues have been resolved, and we now use GetTickCount64()
on Windows Vista and later, falling back to timeGetTime() with rollover
protection for earlier Windows versions.

Move all of the CPU detection logic to the CPU class, and make
all other code use the CPU class for feature detection.
This also fixes the ARM CPU feature detection logic, which was
based on fragile string search in /proc/cpuinfo. Now we use
ELF hwcaps if available, falling back to sane(!!) parsing of
/proc/cpuinfo for CPU features.
The ia32 and x64 code was also cleaned up to make it usable
outside the assembler.

The new instance type 'Symbol' represents ES6 symbols (a.k.a. private/unique names). Currently, symbols are simple data objects that only carry a hash code, random-generated upon allocation.
The new type 'Name' now serves as the common super class for strings and symbols, and is supposed to represent property names. We will eventually migrate APIs from String to Name for the standard key type.
Strings and symbols share the same hash field representation, via the Name class. This way, we should be able to use the same code paths for symbols and internalized strings in most cases. Also, Symbol's instance type code is allocated adjacent to internalized string codes in the enum, allowing a simple range check for the common case.

This requires adding a new JSObject to the strong root list and populating it from
object-observe.js. The main other change is that we now directly use ObjectHashTable
from JS rather than using WeakMap, since using the latter would end up leaking whichever
Context initialized that observation state.
Added a test via the API showing that different contexts all end up working on the same state.

In the traditional MIPS naming scheme, "mips" is used for
big-endian mips and "mipsel" is used for little-endian mips.
In V8 the "mips" build is little-endian, so the "mips" target is
renamed to "mipsel" to be compliant with the traditional MIPS
naming scheme.
This change is also required for supporting the Chromium project on MIPS.

common.gypi now contains global target defaults and is included by all .gyp files;
standalone.gypi contains definitions for stand-alone v8 builds.
This fixes d8 for the ARM simulator.

Updated the armu.gypi to set values for variables which does not have a default. These variables was recently added to v8.gyp.
Moved the what will be shared between building the v8 library and the cctests to a separate include file. For now this file is currently only used by cctest.gyp. the reason is that the cctests are not just using the API but also internal functions so the C++ defines and optons needs to be the same when compiling the cctests files as when compiling the v8 library files.
