ES3 specified that functions created via Function() would have
enumerable prototypes, unlike function literals. For this reason, V8
has always had two prototypes for functions: "function_map" for
literals, and "function_instance_map" for "function instances": those
functions created by Function().
However, since 2009 or so, both maps have been the same! Both have had
writable, non-enumerable prototypes. Moreover, ES5 changed to specify
that function instances would have non-enumerable prototypes.
This patch removes the separate maps for function instances in sloppy
and strict mode.

(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.

This is a temporary workaround when the __proto__ property is being
redefined (e.g. by Object.freeze()) to not loose the foreign callback.
Once the __proto__ property is a real JavaScript accessor this hack is
no longer necessary. This change also makes __proto__ configurable.

Since symbols and strings share a common representation, most of this change is about consistently replacing 'String' with 'Name' in all places where property names are expected. In particular, no new logic at all is necessary for maps, property dictionaries, or transitions. :) The only places where an actual case distinction is needed have to do with generated type checks, and with conversions of names to strings (especially in logger and profiler).
Left in some TODOs wrt to the API: interceptors and native getters don't accept symbols as property names yet, because that would require extending the external v8.h.

- 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).

This moves the __proto__ property to Object.prototype and turns it into
a callback property actually present in the descriptor array as opposed
to a hack in the properties lookup. For now it still is a "magic" data
property using foreign callbacks and not an accessor property visible to
JavaScript.
The second effect of this change is that JSON.parse() no longer treats
the __proto__ property specially, it will be defined as any other data
property. Note that object literals still have their special handling.

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.

This CL has two parts: the first is the logic itself, whereby each observer callback is assigned
a "priority" number the first time it's passed as an observer to Object.observe(), and that
priority is used to determine the order of delivery.
The second part invokes the above logic as part of the API, when the JS stack winds down to
zero.
Added several tests via the API, as the delivery logic isn't testable from a JS test
(it runs after such a test would exit).

In more detail:
- Set observation bit for observed objects (and make NormalizedMapCache respect it).
- Mutation of observed objects is always delegated from ICs to runtime.
- Introduce JS runtime function for notifying generated changes.
- Invoke this function in the appropriate places (including some local refactoring).
- Inclusion of oldValue field is not yet implemented, nor element properties.
Also, shortened flag to --harmony-observation.

Added highly efficient Object::SetAlignedPointerInInternalField and
Object::GetAlignedPointerFromInternalField functions for 2-byte-aligned
pointers. Their non-aligned counterparts Object::GetPointerFromInternalField and
Object::SetPointerInInternalField are now deprecated utility functions.
External is now a true Value again, with New/Value/Cast using a JSObject with an
internal field containing a Foreign. External::Wrap, and External::Unwrap are now
deprecated utility functions.
Added Context::GetEmbedderData and Context::SetEmbedderData. Deprecated
Context::GetData and Context::SetData, these are now only wrappers to access
internal field 0.
Added highly efficient Context::SetAlignedPointerInEmbedderData and
