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.

* src/api.cc (ScriptData::PreCompile): Fix bogus use of bogus value for
preparsing flags by removing those arguments, which were always zero.
* src/parser.h
* src/parser.cc (ParserApi::PreParse): Remove extension and flags
arguments, both of which were either always 0 or incorrectly used.
* test/cctest/test-parsing.cc (RegressChromium62639, Regress928): Fix
more bogus uses of preparser api.

(qua last week's TC39)
Specifically:
- Install Symbol constructor function on the global object.
- Adjust code generation for typeof.
- Remove IsSymbol built-in, IS_SYMBOL macro now defined using typeof.
- Remove hack that allowed symbols as constructor results, and some other special cases.
- Remove symbol_delegate and GetDelegate function.
- Extend ToBoolean stub to handle symbols.
- Extend ToNumber to return NaN on symbols.
- Poison symbol's toString function, and thereby ToString on symbols.

Two new methods are added to allow embedders to determine that execution
should be resumed at a particular point in the stack without being forced
to unwind all JS frames.
* V8::CancelTerminateExecution() -- When execution is terminated via a call
to V8::TerminateExecution(), this method can be called to clear the
termination exception so that the engine can continue to be used.
* TryCatch::HasTerminated() -- When a TryCatch has caught a termination
exception, HasTerminated() will return true to indicate it is valid to
call V8::ResumeExecution() if desired.
A test case is added to cctest/test-thread-termination.cc.

Added instance method on v8::Isolate for retrieving instance of v8::HeapProfiler for that isolate. All static methods of v8::HeapProfiler are deprecated, corresponding instance methods are added to v8::HeapProfiler.
All static methods on v8::internal::HeapProfiler were converted into instance ones.

CPU profiler API is extended with methods that allow to retrieve individual samples from profile. Each sample is presented as a pointer to a node in the top-down profile tree. The samples will let us tie JS performance to time.

I tried to limit the use of v8::Isolate::GetCurrent() and v8::internal::Isolate::Current() as much as possible, but sometimes this would have involved restructuring tests quite a bit, which is better left for a separate CL.

in preparation of the introduction of ES6 'symbols' (aka private/unique names).
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).

Unified parameter order of CreateHandle with the rest of v8 on the way. A few
Isolate::Current()s had to be introduced, which is not nice, and not every place
will win a beauty contest, but we can clean this up later easily in smaller steps.

Removed the following deprecated functions:
* Object::GetPointerFromInternalField
* Object::SetPointerInInternalField
* External::Wrap
* External::Unwrap
* 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
and others are already using 3.15, too. All removed API entries can be emulated
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
having old and not-so-old deprecations in v8.h, the 3.15 deprecations are now
removed.
In general, the strategy of keeping deprecated things for one stable release and
then removing them seems to be a good compromise between a maintenance nightmare
and annoying external embedders. :-)
