The LastAdded points to the descriptor that was last added to the array. From the descriptor we can deduce the NextEnumerationIndex. This allows us to quickly find the property that we are transitioning to, which is necessary for transition-intensive code, eg JSON parsing.

In this design maps contain descriptor arrays, which in turn can contain transition arrays. If transitions are needed when no descriptor array is present, a descriptor array without real descriptors is inserted just so it can point at the transition array.
The transition array does not contain details about the field it transitions to. In order to weed out transitions to FIELDs from CONSTANT_FUNCTION (what used to be MAP_TRANSITION vs CONSTANT_TRANSITION), the transition needs to be followed and the details need to be looked up in the target map. CALLBACKS transitions are still easy to recognize since the transition targets are stored as an AccessorPair containing the maps, rather than the maps directly.
Currently AccessorPairs containing a transition and an accessor are shared between the descriptor array and the transition array. This simplifies lookup since we only have to look in one of both arrays. This will change in subsequent revisions, when descriptor arrays will become shared between multiple maps, since transitions cannot be shared.

Instead of overwriting non-live transitions with NULL_DESCRIPTORs, we remove them from the array by compacting the array (shifting live values to the left) and in-place trimming the array. If the final descriptor array contains no live values (only contained transitions which are now all cleared), we move bit_field3 back from the descriptor array to the map. The descriptor array itself will be collected in the next GC.

- Ensure that IsFound() is only used when not in combination with other
checks. To do so, the default type is NONEXISTENT rather than NORMAL;
and NotFound() also resets the type to NONEXISTENT.
- Use test methods rather than .type() == A_PROPERTY_TYPE.

Main change from the original CL: Call::ComputeTarget does not use IsProperty
anymore, because this would potentially need a holder, which we don't have
here. Using Map::LookupInDescriptors with a NULL holder is a bit fishy in
general, because one has to be *extremely* careful when using its LookupResult.
The original CL made Chrome's NetInternalsTest.netInternalsTourTabs browser test
fail, but it's a mystery how this could happen: We should never reach
Call::ComputeTarget via Call::RecordTypeFeedback with a CALLBACKS property,
because we never consider calls to them monomorphic, which is in turn because of
the stub cache leaving them in the pre-monomorphic state. Therefore, I don't
have a clue how to write a regression test for this...
As an additional tiny bonus, the --trace-opt output for deoptimizations has been
improved.

With transitions in AccessorPairs, it is not enough to look at the PropertyType
alone to decide whether we look at a property or not: For objects with
JavaScript accessors, we have to look into the AccessorPair itself and see if
one of its 2 parts is actually a JavaScript accessor. Therefore, a predicate
with a PropertyType argument alone doesn't make sense anymore, we might need the
associated value, too.
Things are complicated by the fact that the holder in a LookupResult can be
NULL, so we must be careful to retrieve its value only when it is really
needed. To achieve the needed call-by-name semantics, a new Entry is introduced,
which is basically a closure over a DescriptorArray and an index into this array
(C++0x to the rescue!). GCC is clever enough to inline this class, so we pay no
runtime penalty for this abstraction.
It's all a bit ugly, but this is caused by the current structure of Descriptor,
DescriptorArray and LookupResult: Things would be much easier if DescriptorArray
were, well, an array of Descriptors, and LookupResult were a 'Maybe Descriptor'
(in Haskell-terms).

With the upcoming changes to CALLBACKS properties, a predicate on the transition
type alone doesn't make sense anymore: For CALLBACKS one has to look into the
property's value to decide, and there is even the possibility of having a an
accessor function *and* a transition in the same property.
I am not completely happy with some parts of this CL, because they contain
redundant code, but given the various representations we currently have for
property type/value pairs, I can see no easy way around that. Perhaps one can
improve this a bit in a different CL, the current diversity really, really hurts
productivity...
As a bonus, this CL includes a few minor things:
* CaseClause::RecordTypeFeedback has been cleaned up and it handles the
NULL_DESCRIPTOR case correctly now. Under some (very unlikely) circumstances,
we previously missed some opportunities for monomorphic calls. In general, it
is rather unfortunate that NULL_DESCRIPTOR "shines through", it is just a
hack for the inability to remove a descriptor entry during GC, something
callers shouldn't have to be aware of.
* DescriptorArray::CopyInsert has been cleaned up a bit, preparing it for later
CALLBACKS-related changes.
* LookupResult::Print is now more informative for CONSTANT_TRANSITION.

Replaced FIRST_PHANTOM_PROPERTY_TYPE by a predicate. Removed the (hopefully)
last default cases for switches on PropertyType. Benchmarks show that both
changes are performace-neutral.
Now every value of PropertyType should either be handled by an explicit case in
a switch or by an equality operator. Therefore, the C++ compiler should finally
be able to tell us which places to touch when changing PropertyType.

Do not rely on 'default' clauses or 'if's when analysing a PropertyType, because
this makes it hard to find the relevant places when a new type is added. Note
that the detection of "phantom property types" is left untouched, because this
might have a performance impact, especially for the GC (to be investigated).
This is a preliminary step for introducing a new kind of map transition.

objectprint=on (defaults to off) option (which defines OBJECT_PRINT).
2. Added the ability to print objects to a specified file instead of
just stdout.
3. Added a use_verbose_printer flag (true by default) to allow some
object printouts to be less verbose when the flag is false.
4. Fixed a bug in VSNPrintF() where it can potentially write into an
empty char vector.

This should help in cases like:
function Constructor() {
this.foo = constFunction;
this.bar = "baz";
}
for (...) {
o = new Constructor();
// Constant call IC will work.
o.foo();
// Inlined property load will see the same map.
use(o.bar);
}
This change also fixes a latent bug in custom call IC-s for strings
exposed by string-charcodeat.js.

Replaced IsValid by IsPropertyOrTransition and used IsProperty in most
of the places where IsValid was used before. Most of the time when
inspecting a lookup result we really want to know if there is a real
property present. Only for stores are we interested in transitions.

The abstractions have led to bugs because it looks like descriptor
streams are GC safe but they are not.
I have moved the descriptor stream helper functions to descriptor
arrays and I find most of the code just as readable now as it was
before.

This issue was raised by Brett Wilson while reviewing my changelist for readability. Craig Silverstein (one of C++ SG maintainers) confirmed that we should declare one namespace per line. Our way of namespaces closing seems not violating style guides (there is no clear agreement on it), so I left it intact.
