Specifically:
- Introduce Symbol and SymbolObject classes.
- Generalise Object::Has and Object::Delete to arbitrary Value-typed keys.
- Generalise some places in the API implementation from String to Name.
It is not possible to intercept symbol-named properties. That is consistent with the idea that symbols are private and should not leak.

The new test checks full CPU profiling cycle: using public
V8 API it starts profiling, executes a script, stops profiling
and analyzes collected profile to check that its top-down
tree has expected strutcture. The script that is being profiled
is guaranteed to run > 200ms to make sure enough samples
are collected.
To avoid possible flakiness due to non-deterministic time required
to start new thread on varios OSs when Sampler and ProfilerEventsProcessor
threads are being started the main thread is blocked until the threads
are running.
Also I removed the heuristic in profile-generator.cc where we try
to figure out if the value on top of the sampled stack is return address
of some frameless stub invocation. The code periodically gives false positive
with the new test ending up in an extra node in the collected cpu profile.
After discussion with jkummerow@ we concluded that the logic is too fragile
and that we can address frameless stub invocations in a more reliable way
later should they have a noticeable effect on cpu profiling.

This patch refactors the parser and preparser interface to be more
readable and type-safe. It has no behavior changes.
Previously, parsers and preparsers were configured via bitfield called
parser_flags in the Parser constructor, and flags in
PreParser::PreParseProgram, ParserApi::Parse, and ParserApi::PreParse.
This was error-prone in practice: six call sites passed incorrectly
typed values to this interface (a boolean FLAG value, a boolean false
and a boolean true value). None of these errors were caught by the
compiler because it's just an "int".
The parser flags interface was also awkward because it encoded a
language mode, but the language mode was only used to turn on harmony
scoping or not -- it wasn't used to actually set the parser's language
mode.
Fundamentally these errors came in because of the desire for a
procedural parser interface, in ParserApi. Because we need to be able
to configure the parser in various ways, the flags argument got added;
but no one understood how to use the flags properly. Also they were
only used by constructors: callers packed bits, and the constructors
unpacked them into booleans on the parser or preparser.
The solution is to allow parser construction, configuration, and
invocation to be separated. This patch does that.
It passes the existing tests.

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.

The SymbolTable became the StringTable. I also made sure to adapt all comments. The only remaining use of the term "symbol" (other than unrelated uses in the parser and such) is now 'NewSymbol' in the API and the 'V8.KeyedLoadGenericSymbol' counter, changing which might break embedders.
The one functional change in this CL is that I removed the former 'empty_string' constant, since it is redundant given the 'empty_symbol' constant that we also had (and both were used inconsistently).

On Linux sampling for CPU profiler is initiated on the profiler event processor thread, other platforms to follow.
CPU profiler continues to use SamplingCircularQueue, we will replave it with a single sample buffer when Mac and Win ports support profiling on the event processing thread.
When --prof option is specified profiling is initiated either on the profiler event processor thread if CPU profiler is on or on the SignalSender thread as it used to if no CPU profiles are being collected.
ProfilerEventsProcessor::ProcessEventsAndDoSample now waits in a tight loop, processing collected samples until sampling interval expires. To save CPU resources I'm planning to change that to use nanosleep as only one sample is expected in the queue at any point.

The reason this test fails on ARM hardware but not on Intel hardware
(including the ARM simulator) is this:
'\xa0' is interpreted as a negative signed byte number. Casting it to
uc16 sign-extends it. The resulting string does not fit into a one-byte
string, thus a two-byte string is allocated.
For some reason the code compiled for ARM does not sign-extend, and 0xa0
fits into a one-byte string. Thus a one-byte string is allocated. Trying
to cast it to two-byte causes assertion failure.

This moves the __proto__ property to Object.prototype and turns it into
a callback property actually present in the descriptor array as opposed
to a hack in the properties lookup. For now it still is a "magic" data

The second effect of this change is that JSON.parse() no longer treats
the __proto__ property specially, it will be defined as any other data

* Object::SetPointerInInternalField
* External::Wrap

* Context::GetData
* Context::SetData
They have been deprecated in the 3.15 branch and are not used by Chrome anymore.
Furthermore, judging from bug reports and email threads, embedders like node.js

by a one-liner, so adapting should not be hard for anybody.
We want to introduce more deprecations soon, but to keep things simple and avoid

Modules now have their own local scope, represented by their own context.
Module instance objects have an accessor for every export that forwards
access to the respective slot from the module's context. (Exports that are
modules themselves, however, are simple data properties.)
All modules have a _hosting_ scope/context, which (currently) is the
(innermost) enclosing global scope. To deal with recursion, nested modules
are hosted by the same scope as global ones.
For every (global or nested) module literal, the hosting context has an
internal slot that points directly to the respective module context. This
enables quick access to (statically resolved) module members by 2-dimensional
access through the hosting context. For example,
module A {
let x;
module B { let y; }
}
module C { let z; }
allocates contexts as follows:
[header| .A | .B | .C | A | C ] (global)
| | |
| | +-- [header| z ] (module)
| |
| +------- [header| y ] (module)
|
+------------ [header| x | B ] (module)
Here, .A, .B, .C are the internal slots pointing to the hosted module
contexts, whereas A, B, C hold the actual instance objects (note that every
module context also points to the respective instance object through its
extension slot in the header).
To deal with arbitrary recursion and aliases between modules,
they are created and initialized in several stages. Each stage applies to
all modules in the hosting global scope, including nested ones.
1. Allocate: for each module _literal_, allocate the module contexts and
respective instance object and wire them up. This happens in the
PushModuleContext runtime function, as generated by AllocateModules
(invoked by VisitDeclarations in the hosting scope).
2. Bind: for each module _declaration_ (i.e. literals as well as aliases),
assign the respective instance object to respective local variables. This
happens in VisitModuleDeclaration, and uses the instance objects created
in the previous stage.
For each module _literal_, this phase also constructs a module descriptor
for the next stage. This happens in VisitModuleLiteral.
3. Populate: invoke the DeclareModules runtime function to populate each
_instance_ object with accessors for it exports. This is generated by
DeclareModules (invoked by VisitDeclarations in the hosting scope again),
and uses the descriptors generated in the previous stage.
4. Initialize: execute the module bodies (and other code) in sequence. This
happens by the separate statements generated for module bodies. To reenter
the module scopes properly, the parser inserted ModuleStatements.

Context::GetData and Context::SetData, these are now only wrappers to access
internal field 0.
Added highly efficient Context::SetAlignedPointerInEmbedderData and
Context::GetAlignedPointerFromEmbedderData functions for 2-byte-aligned
pointers.

This enables code flushing even with incremental marking enabled and
fully shares the function link field in JSFunctions between candidates
for code flushing and the optimized functions list. If a candidate for
code flushing gets optimized, it will be evicted from the candidates
list.

In WebKit, we have a small integer cache because calling v8::Integer::New is
slow. This patch adds a faster API for creating integers that requires the
caller to supply the v8::Isolate, saving us the work of looking up the isolate
in thread-local storage.

This API lets the embedder enumerate handles that have class ids. WebKit will
use this feature during garbage collection to compute object groups for DOM
nodes. Previously, we kept a list of DOM nodes on the WebKit side, but that
list is redundant with the global handles list in V8.

the speed of deserializing code. The current startup
time improvement for V8 is around 6%, but code deserialization
is speeded up disproportionately, and we will soon have more
code in the snapshot.
* Removed support for deserializing into large object space.
The regular pages are 1Mbyte now and that is plenty. This
is a big simplification.
* Instead of reserving space for the snapshot we actually
allocate it now. This removes some special casing from
the memory management and simplifies deserialization since
we are just bumping a pointer rather than calling the
normal allocation routines during deserialization.
* Record in the snapshot how much we need to boot up and
allocate it instead of just assuming that allocations in
a new VM will always be linear.
* In the snapshot we always address an object as a negative
offset from the current allocation point. We used to
sometimes address from the start of the deserialized data,
but this is less useful now that we have good support for
roots and repetitions in the deserialization data.
* Code objects were previously deserialized (like other
objects) by alternating raw data (deserialized with memcpy)
and pointers (to external references, other objects, etc.).
Now we deserialize code objects with a single memcpy,
followed by a series of skips and pointers that partially
overwrite the code we memcopied out of the snapshot.
The skips are sometimes merged into the following
instruction in the deserialization data to reduce dispatch
time.
* Integers in the snapshot were stored in a variable length
format that gives a compact representation for small positive
integers. This is still the case, but the new encoding can
be decoded without branches or conditional instructions,
which is faster on a modern CPU.

This CL adds multiple things:
Transition arrays do not directly point at their descriptor array anymore, but rather do so via an indirect pointer (a JSGlobalPropertyCell).
An ownership bit is added to maps indicating whether it owns its own descriptor array or not.
Maps owning a descriptor array can pass on ownership if a transition from that map is generated; but only if the descriptor array stays exactly the same; or if a descriptor is added.
Maps that don't have ownership get ownership back if their direct child to which ownership was passed is cleared in ClearNonLiveTransitions.
To detect which descriptors in an array are valid, each map knows its own NumberOfOwnDescriptors. Since the descriptors are sorted in order of addition, if we search and find a descriptor with index bigger than this number, it is not valid for the given map.
We currently still build up an enumeration cache (although this may disappear). The enumeration cache is always built for the entire descriptor array, even if not all descriptors are owned by the map. Once a descriptor array has an enumeration cache for a given map; this invariant will always be true, even if the descriptor array was extended. The extended array will inherit the enumeration cache from the smaller descriptor array. If a map with more descriptors needs an enumeration cache, it's EnumLength will still be set to invalid, so it will have to recompute the enumeration cache. This new cache will also be valid for smaller maps since they have their own enumlength; and use this to loop over the cache. If the EnumLength is still invalid, but there is already a cache present that is big enough; we just initialize the EnumLength field for the map.
When we apply ClearNonLiveTransitions and descriptor ownership is passed back to a parent map, the descriptor array is trimmed in-place and resorted. At the same time, the enumeration cache is trimmed in-place.
Only transition arrays contain descriptor arrays. If we transition to a map and pass ownership of the descriptor array along, the child map will not store the descriptor array it owns. Rather its parent will keep the pointer. So for every leaf-map, we find the descriptor array by following the back pointer, reading out the transition array, and fetching the descriptor array from the JSGlobalPropertyCell. If a map has a transition array, we fetch it from there. If a map has undefined as its back-pointer and has no transition array; it is considered to have an empty descriptor array.
When we modify properties, we cannot share the descriptor array. To accommodate this, the child map will get its own transition array; even if there are not necessarily any transitions leaving from the child map. This is necessary since it's the only way to store its own descriptor array.
