92db2105e4 Object.deliverChangeRecords should remove the observer from activeObservers
To preserve ordering guarantees during end-of-turn delivery, Object.deliverChangeRecords needs to remove the delivered-to observer from the list of active observers.

c203f05474 Delivery logic for Object.observe
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).

c54fc70f13 Store Object.observe state per-isolate rather than per-context
This requires adding a new JSObject to the strong root list and populating it from
object-observe.js. The main other change is that we now directly use ObjectHashTable
from JS rather than using WeakMap, since using the latter would end up leaking whichever
Context initialized that observation state.

Added a test via the API showing that different contexts all end up working on the same state.

f3807ca17b Heavy cleanup of the external pointer API.
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
Context::GetAlignedPointerFromEmbedderData functions for 2-byte-aligned
pointers.

84935fb23a Fix missing slot recodring during clearing of CallICs.
This fixes a rare corner case that was caused by missing recording of
relocation slots when the uninitialized CallIC stub happenes to land on
an evacuation candidate and the IC is cleared via the shared function.

86fd161fdc Fix casting error for receiver of interceptors.
This fixes a casting error that occured when the receiver of a missed
or uninitialized CallIC is a Smi and there is an interceptor installed
on the prototype chain.

5a8d1764bc Refactoring of snapshots. This simplifies and improves
the speed of deserializing code.  The current startup
time improvement for V8 is around 6%, but code deserialization
is speeded up disproportionately, and we will soon have more
code in the snapshot.
* Removed support for deserializing into large object space.
  The regular pages are 1Mbyte now and that is plenty.  This
  is a big simplification.
* Instead of reserving space for the snapshot we actually
  allocate it now.  This removes some special casing from
  the memory management and simplifies deserialization since
  we are just bumping a pointer rather than calling the
  normal allocation routines during deserialization.
* Record in the snapshot how much we need to boot up and
  allocate it instead of just assuming that allocations in
  a new VM will always be linear.
* In the snapshot we always address an object as a negative
  offset from the current allocation point.  We used to
  sometimes address from the start of the deserialized data,
  but this is less useful now that we have good support for
  roots and repetitions in the deserialization data.
* Code objects were previously deserialized (like other
  objects) by alternating raw data (deserialized with memcpy)
  and pointers (to external references, other objects, etc.).
  Now we deserialize code objects with a single memcpy,
  followed by a series of skips and pointers that partially
  overwrite the code we memcopied out of the snapshot.
  The skips are sometimes merged into the following
  instruction in the deserialization data to reduce dispatch
  time.
* Integers in the snapshot were stored in a variable length
  format that gives a compact representation for small positive
  integers.  This is still the case, but the new encoding can
  be decoded without branches or conditional instructions,
  which is faster on a modern CPU.
