1. Added gdb style debugger commands (and their shortcuts) for d8.
These include:
- s[tep] : step into the current statement.
- s[tep]i[n]: step into the current statement with the minimum step.
- n[ext] : step to the next statement.
- fin[ish] : step out of the current function.
- cond : setting conditions on breakpoints.
- d[elete] : deletes breakpoints.
- en[able]|dis[able]: enables/disables breakpoints including
exception breakpoints.
- ignore : ignores a breakpoint for a specified period.
- inf[o] ar[gs] : info on arguments of the current function.
- inf[o] lo[cals] : info on local vars of the current function.
- inf[o] br[eakpoints] : info on breakpoints.
- l[ist] : similar to source, but allows the user to continually
dump subsequent lines of source code either in the
forward or backward direction.
- quit / exit / disconnect : terminates the remote debugger
session.
NOTE: Active breakpoints will automatically be disabled when
the remote debugger detaches. This allows v8 to continue to
run without worrying about a loss of a debugger session.
2. Added support for breaking the debugger by simply typing ENTER.
The break command is now optional.
3. Once the debugger is broken, the user can now just type ENTER
to repeat the last command. This is useful to functionality that
needs to be invoked repeatedly e.g. step, list.
4. Added more verbose descriptions in d8's help.
5. Fixed a line and column number offset bug in the listing of breakpoint
line and column numbers.
6. Added a gc command to allow GCs to be requested from the debugger
interface. The plumbing for requesting different types of GCs is
there, but the underlying implementation currently only triggers a
full mark-compact GC. The command also returns the before and after
sizes of the heap.
7. Added trace json, and flags commands that are not published in help.
trace json is used for tracing the debugger packets send from and
received by d8. flags is for setting v8 flags. These are useful for
people debugging v8 itself, but not necessarily users of v8.
8. Added the ability to enable and disable break on all / uncaught
exceptions in to d8.
9. Added a fix to prevent the Debugger Agent from being re-instantiated
if one already exists.
10. Added the ability to filter results of the script command by matching
text or numbers on the results.
11. Added v8 flags to enable/disable the sending of debugger BeforeCompile,
AfterCompile, and ScriptCollected events.
12. Fixed some undefined value bugs that resulted in v8 or the debugger
failing.
13. Added a few minor WEBOS__ customizations (analogous to ANDROID
customizations).

Removed a false assertion in ScopeIterator that assumed context extension to never be a JSContextExtensionObject.
The context extension object in a 'with' context is JSContextExtensionObject iff the 'with' statement is generated from a catch block in order to extend its local scope with a variable holding exception object. This is how we differentiate 'catch' scope from 'with' scope.

For each frame it is now possible to request information on the scope chain. Each scope in the chain can have one of the types local, global, with and closure. For scopes of type global and with the mirror for the actual global or with object is available. For scopes of type local and closure a plain JavaScript object with the materialized content of the scope is created and its mirror is returned. Depending on the level of possible optimization the content of the materialized local and closure scopes might only contain the names which are actually used.
To iterate the scope chain an iterator ScopeIterator have been added which can provide the type of each scope for each part of the chain. This iterator creates an artificial local scope whenever that is present as the context chain does not include the local scope.
To avoid caching the mirror objects for the materialized the local and closure scopes transient mirrors have been added. They have negative handles and cannot be retrieved by subsequent lookup calls. Their content is part of a single response.
For debugging purposes an additional runtime function DebugPrintScopes is been added.
Added commands 'scopes' and 'scope' to the developer shell and fixed the dir command.

* Identify heap numbers that contain non-Smi int32s and do bit
ops on them without calling the fp hardware or emulation.
* Identify results that are non-Smi int32s and write them into
heap numbers without calling the fp hardware or emulation.
* Do unary minus on heap numbers without going into the runtime
system.
* On add, sub and mul if we have both Smi and heapnumber inputs
to the same operation then convert the Smi to a double and do
the op without going into runtime system. This also applies
if we have two Smi inputs but the result is not Smi.

Scripts now have a compilation type which can be host, eval or JSON. Host scripts are compiled through the API, eval scripts are compiled through call to evan and JSON scripts are compiled as a result of calling JSON.parse.
For scripts scripts compiled through eval the JavaScript function in top of the stack and the pc offset into the code is stored in the script object. This makes it possible to calculate the source position of the eval call later when requested. This information can be obtained through the script mirror object and is part of the script mirror JSON serialization for the debugger protocol.
Moved the enumeration ScripType into class Script and remamed to Type. The new compilation type enumeration is also inside the class Script.
This information is now shown when using the scripts command in he developer shell debugger.

Each thread running V8 code is assigned an id in thread local storage the first time V8 code is run in it. The thread information returned to the debugger contains the number of threads, the id of each of these threads and which one is the current thread.
Added a threads command to the developer shell debugger for showing information on threads.

Changed the script break points to be able to handle both break points based on script names and script ids. When break points are set through a script id the position is relative to the script itself. This is different from the script break points set through script names where the line/coulmn offset is taken into account.
This has the side effect that function break points are not converted into script break points for named scripts.
Show the script id in the D8 shell debugger when listing all scripts using the 'scripts' command.

Formatting of both debugger events and debugger responses are now unified into one function. This is mainly in preparation for the upcomming remote debugging support where having it a one function simplify things.

The D8 debugger frontend now only processes JSON messages. Before the debugger events was passed as objects.
Changed the debugger events JSON generation to use the same serailizer as the responses to requests. This provides correct serialization of mirror objects in debugger events. Renamed ResponsePacket to ProtocolMessage as it is not only used for responses.

The debugger compile events (BeforeCompile and AfterCompile) have not been used by any V8 debuggers lately and where actually not working any more. Added the correct information to the compile event.
Added a simple 'trace compile' command to the developer shell for testing.
