If we find a property in the prototype-chain that we can overwrite, and
we have a transition, keep the holder in the lookup-result as the actual
holder. We will need it for the consistency-check in GenerateStoreField.
By directly checking the entire chain we avoid having to lazily bail out
to a copy of the miss stub while generating the Field Store IC.
Currently this CL disallows a normal non-receiver holder, given that
that would require a positive lookup + details verification to ensure
the property did not become read-only. This fixes the regressions in the
attached tests.

(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.

First of all, it has nothing to do with Isolates, it is related to the assembler
at hand. Furthermore, the saving/restoring is platform-independent. Cleaned up
some platform-specific stuff on the way.
Note that there are some things which still need some cleanup, like e.g. using
EnumSet instead of uint64_t, making Probe() more uniform across platforms etc.,
but the CL is already big enough.

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).

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.

Initial step towards separating IC (map check(s)), handler frontend
(prototype-check) and handler backend (actual handler code).
- Still need to split the map-check (IC) from rest of the prototype
chain check.
- Still need to turn different parts in own code objects and cache them
in more optimal places.
