- Add --harmony-symbols flag.
- Add Symbol constructor; allow symbols as (unreplaced) return value from constructors.
- Introduce %CreateSymbol and %_IsSymbol natives and respective instructions.
- Extend 'typeof' code generation to handle symbols.
- Extend CompareIC with a UNIQUE_NAMES state that (uniformly) handles internalized strings and symbols.
- Property lookup delegates to SymbolDelegate object for symbols, which only carries the toString method.
- Extend Object.prototype.toString to recognise symbols.
Per the current draft spec, symbols are actually pseudo objects that are frozen with a null prototype and only one property (toString). For simplicity, we do not treat them as proper objects for now, although typeof will return "object". Only property access works as if they were (frozen) objects (via the internal delegate object).

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.

Initial step towards separating IC (map check(s)), handler frontend
(prototype-check) and handler backend (actual handler code).
- Still need to split the map-check (IC) from rest of the prototype
chain check.
- Still need to turn different parts in own code objects and cache them
in more optimal places.

This fixes a corner case when the instance prototype of a function is
changed while inobject slack tracking is still in progress. This caused
the intial map to be unrelated for functions with the same shared info
and hence the shared construct stub is no longer generic enough to work
for all those functions.

Highlights of this CL:
* Introduced a new opcode in the deoptimizer for a setter stub frame.
* Added a global setter stub for returning after deoptimizing a setter.
* We do not need special deopt support for getters, although the getter stub creates an internal frame. The normal machinery works just right for this case, although we generate a stack that can never occur during normal fullcode execution. If this hurts us one day, we can parameterize and reuse the setter deopt machinery.

This fixes the positive lookup performed by these LoadICs, to use the
holder instead of the receiver to perfrom the lookup on. It also extends
this improvement to KeyedLoadICs. And it fixes a bug introduced for the
JavaScript getter case of a LoadIC.

- Ensure that IsFound() is only used when not in combination with other
checks. To do so, the default type is NONEXISTENT rather than NORMAL;
and NotFound() also resets the type to NONEXISTENT.
- Use test methods rather than .type() == A_PROPERTY_TYPE.
