Make esi available to the register allocator rather than dedicating it
permanently to the context.
The context is still passed in register esi to JavaScript and to the runtime
as part of the calling convention. Because some stubs might end up calling
JS or the runtime, it is also conservatively passed to stubs.
Roughly half the calls have been modified to use the context as an input
value in fixed register esi. The other half are marked as calls or deferred
code so esi is spilled and can be explicitly set.
It is no longer necessary to restore the context to esi after a call that
might change it.

This is an improved version of my earlier change r5970. It avoids degrading the
non-optimized code.
Initially we emit a conditional branch that is either always- or never-taken
after a smi-check (depending on whether we test for smi for for non-smi)
Since test-eax always sets the carry-flag to 0 we use jump-if-carry and
jump-if-not-carry.
The first invocation of the stub patches a jc with a jz and
jnc with a jnz-instruction so that the code looks exactly as it was
without patching. The only difference is the test- or nop-instruction
after the IC-call.

In the case of inlined smi code in non-optimzied code we could not
distinguish between the smi-only case and the case that the operation was
never executed.
With this change the first execution of a binary operation always jumps
to the stub which in turn patches the smi-check into the correct
conditional branch, so that we benefit from inlined smi code after the
first invocation.
A nop instruction after the call to the BinaryOpIC indicates that no
smi code was inlined. A "test eax" instruction says that there was smi
code inlined and encodes the delta to the patch site and the condition
code of the branch at the patch site to restore the original jump.

The number of inobject properties used to be derived from the number
of this property assignments in the constructor (and increased by 2 to
allow for properties added later). This very often leads to wasted inobject
slots.
This patch reclaims some of the unused inobject space by the following method:
- for each constructor function the first several objects are allocated using the initial
("generous) instance size estimation (this is called 'tracking phase').
- during the tracking phase map transitions are tracked and actual property counts are collected.
- at the end of the tracking phase instance sizes in the maps are decreased if necessary
(starting with the function's initial map and traversing the transition tree).
- all further allocation use more realistic instance size estimation.
Shrinking generously allocated objects without costly heap traversal is made possible
by initializing their inobject properties with one_pointer_filler_map (instead of undefined).
The initial slack for the generous allocation is increased from 2 to 6 which really helps some tests.

This change introduces near labels in the assembler, allowing us to
uptimize forward jumps (conditional and unconditional) if we can
guarantee that the jump is witin range -128 to +127.
I changed a large fractions of the existing Labels to NearLabels, and
left out cases where it was not immediately clear if it could be used
or not (not immediately clear means labels covering a large code
block, or used in function calls which we could potentially change to
accept near labels).

Added support for more precise break points when debugging and stepping. To achieve that additional nop instructions are inserted where breaking would otherwise be impossible. The number of nop instructions inserted are sufficient to make place for patching with a call to a debug break code stub. On Intel that is 5 nop's for 32-bit and 13 for 64-bit. Om ARM 3 nop instructions (12 bytes) are required.
In order to avoid inserting nop's in to many places a simple ast checker have been added to check whether there are breakable code in a statement or expression. If it is possible to break in an expression no additional break enabeling code is inserted.
Added break locations to the true and false part of a conditional expression.
Added stepping tests to cover more constructs.
These changes are only in the full compiler.
Changed the default value for the option --debugger in teh d8 shell from true to false. The reason for this is that with --debugger turned on the full compiler will be used for all code in when running d8, which can be unexpeceted.
