The tail call implementation is hidden behind the --harmony-tailcalls
flag, which is off-by-default (and has been unstaged since February).
It is known to be broken in a variety of cases, including clusterfuzz
security issues (see sample Chromium issues below). To avoid letting
the implementation bitrot further on trunk, this patch removes it.

This removes an optimization from the code generator that tries to
materialize certain constants (i.e. context and closure) from the
stackframe when possible. This does not work with Harmony tail calls
which are split into several instructions. There have already been
numerous bugs in this optimization, it is too fragile in its current
form.
