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.

1) While marking the backing hash table of a WeakMap we also need to
record the slot because it might be on an evacuation candidate.
2) With incremental marking one backing hash table might be marked more
than once because the WeakMap might have gone through a white to gray
transition.
3) The corner case when the allocation of the backing hash table itself
causes a GC, leads to a WeakMap with an undefined table field, so we
still need to handle this case correctly.

This fixes processing of WeakMaps so that value entries on an evacuation
candidate are correctly recorded in the slots buffer. We didn't pass the
correct slot into the backing hashtable while visiting values.
Also the live bytes counter for large object space pages was not reset
correctly when incremental marking is aborted.
