Add a notion of "invocation count" to the baseline compilers, which
increment a special slot in the TypeFeedbackVector for each invocation
of a given function (the optimized code doesn't currently collect this
information).
Use this invocation count to relativize the call counts on the call
sites within the function, so that the inlining heuristic has a view
of relative importance of a call site rather than some absolute numbers
with unclear meaning for the current function. Also apply the call site
frequency as a factor to all frequencies in the inlinee by passing this
to the graph builders so that the importance of a call site in an
inlinee is relative to the topmost optimized function.
Note that all functions that neither have literals nor need type
feedback slots will share a single invocation count cell in the
canonical empty type feedback vector, so their invocation count is
meaningless, but that doesn't matter since we only use the invocation
count to relativize call counts within the function, which we only have
if we have at least one type feedback vector (the CallIC slot).

For historical reasons, the interpreter's bytecode expectations tests
required a type for the constant pool. This had two disadvantages:
1. Strings and numbers were not visible in mixed pools, and
2. Mismatches of pool types (e.g. when rebaselining) would cause parser
errors
This removes the pool types, making everything 'mixed', but appending
the values to string and number valued constants. Specifying a pool type
in the *.golden header now prints a warning (for backwards compatibility).

With this change the bytecode array builder only emits expression
positions for bytecodes that can throw. This allows more peephole
optimization opportunities and results in smaller code.

The original peephole optimizer logic in the BytecodeArrayBuilder did
not respect source positions as it was written before there were
bytecode source positions. This led to some minor differences to
FCG and was problematic when combined with pending bytecode
optimizations. This change makes the new peephole optimizer fully
respect source positions.

This change introduces a pipeline for the final stages of
bytecode generation.
The peephole optimizer is made distinct from the BytecodeArrayBuilder.
A new BytecodeArrayWriter is responsible for writing bytecode. It
also keeps track of the maximum register seen and offers a potentially
smaller frame size.

This change introduces wide prefix bytecodes to support wide (16-bit)
and extra-wide (32-bit) operands. It retires the previous
wide-bytecodes and reduces the number of operand types.
Operands are now either scalable or fixed size. Scalable operands
increase in width when a bytecode is prefixed with wide or extra-wide.
The bytecode handler table is extended to 256*3 entries. The
first 256 entries are used for bytecodes with 8-bit operands,
the second 256 entries are used for bytecodes with operands that
scale to 16-bits, and the third group of 256 entries are used for
bytecodes with operands that scale to 32-bits.

Bytecode expectations have been moved to external (.golden) files,
one per test. Each test in the suite builds a representation of the
the compiled bytecode using BytecodeExpectationsPrinter. The output is
then compared to the golden file. If the comparision fails, a textual
diff can be used to identify the discrepancies.
Only the test snippets are left in the cc file, which also allows to
make it more compact and meaningful. Leaving the snippets in the cc
file was a deliberate choice to allow keeping the "truth" about the
tests in the cc file, which will rarely change, as opposed to golden
files.
Golden files can be generated and kept up to date using
generate-bytecode-expectations, which also means that the test suite
can be batch updated whenever the bytecode or golden format changes.
The golden format has been slightly amended (no more comments about
`void*`, add size of the bytecode array) following the consideration
made while converting the tests.
There is also a fix: BytecodeExpectationsPrinter::top_level_ was left
uninitialized, leading to undefined behaviour.
