Original descriptions were:
- "Refactor and cleanup VirtualMemory."
- "Fix typo."
- "Deuglify V8_INLINE and V8_NOINLINE."
- "Don't align size on allocation granularity for unaligned ReserveRegion calls."
Reasons for the revert are:
- Our mjsunit test suite slower by a factor of 5(!) in release mode.
- Flaky cctest/test-alloc/CodeRange on all architectures and platforms.
- Tankage of Sunspider by about 6% overall (unverified).

Remove a lot of platform duplication, and simplify the virtual
memory implementation. Also improve readability by avoiding bool
parameters for executability (use a dedicated Executability type
instead).
Get rid of the Isolate::UncheckedCurrent() call in the platform
code, as part of the Isolate TLS cleanup.
Use a dedicated random number generator for the address
randomization, instead of messing with the per-isolate random
number generators.

The RandomNumberGenerator is a pseudorandom number generator
with 48-bit state. It is properly seeded using either
(1) the --random-seed if specified, or
(2) the entropy_source function if configured, or
(3) /dev/urandom if available, or
(4) falls back to Time and TimeTicks based seeding.
Each Isolate now contains a RandomNumberGenerator, which replaces
the previous private_random_seed.
Every native context still has its own random_seed. But this random
seed is now properly initialized during bootstrapping,
instead of on-demand initialization. This will allow us to cleanup
and speedup the HRandom implementation quite a lot (this is delayed
for a followup CL)!
Also stop messing with the system rand()/random(), which should
not be done from a library anyway! We probably re-seeded the
libc rand()/random() after the application (i.e. Chrome) already
seeded it (with better entropy than what we used).
Another followup CL will replace the use of the per-isolate
random number generator for the address randomization and
thereby get rid of the Isolate::UncheckedCurrent() usage in
the platform code.

Condition variables are synchronization primitives that can be used
to block one or more threads while waiting for condition to become
true.
Right now we have only semaphores, mutexes and atomic operations for
synchronization, which results in quite complex solutions where an
implementation using condition variables and mutexes would be straight
forward.
There's also a performance benefit to condition variables and mutexes
vs semaphores, especially on Windows, where semaphores are kernel
objects, while mutexes are implemented as fast critical sections,
it CAN be beneficial performance-wise to use condition variables
instead of semaphores.

Drop the previous Mutex and ScopedLock classes from platform files.
Add new Mutex, RecursiveMutex and LockGuard classes, which are
designed after their C++11 counterparts, so that at some point
we can simply drop our custom code and switch to the C++11
classes. We distinguish regular and recursive mutexes, as the
latter don't work well with condition variables, which will be
introduced by a followup CL.

These classes are meant to replace OS::Ticks() and OS::TimeCurrentMillis(),
which are broken in several ways. The ElapsedTimer class implements a
stopwatch using TimeTicks::HighResNow() for high resolution, monotonic
timing.
Also fix the CpuProfile::GetStartTime() and CpuProfile::GetEndTime()
methods to actually return the time relative to the unix epoch as stated
in the documentation (previously that was relative to some arbitrary
point in time, i.e. boot time).
The previous Windows issues have been resolved, and we now use GetTickCount64()
on Windows Vista and later, falling back to timeGetTime() with rollover
protection for earlier Windows versions.
