Renamed SignalSender to SamplerThread to match platforms that don't support signal sending.
Cygwin and Windows implementations are almost identical. Mac OS X uses different API to suspend thread but apart from that it is very similar to Windows implenenation.

The new test checks full CPU profiling cycle: using public
V8 API it starts profiling, executes a script, stops profiling
and analyzes collected profile to check that its top-down
tree has expected strutcture. The script that is being profiled
is guaranteed to run > 200ms to make sure enough samples
are collected.
To avoid possible flakiness due to non-deterministic time required
to start new thread on varios OSs when Sampler and ProfilerEventsProcessor
threads are being started the main thread is blocked until the threads
are running.
Also I removed the heuristic in profile-generator.cc where we try
to figure out if the value on top of the sampled stack is return address
of some frameless stub invocation. The code periodically gives false positive
with the new test ending up in an extra node in the collected cpu profile.
After discussion with jkummerow@ we concluded that the logic is too fragile
and that we can address frameless stub invocations in a more reliable way
later should they have a noticeable effect on cpu profiling.

The patch is based on the previous one that was rolled out: https://code.google.com/p/v8/source/detail?r=12985
On Linux sampling for CPU profiler is initiated on the profiler event processor thread, other platforms to follow.
CPU profiler continues to use SamplingCircularQueue, we will replave it with a single sample buffer when Mac and Win ports support profiling on the event processing thread.
When --prof option is specified profiling is initiated either on the profiler event processor thread if CPU profiler is on or on the SignalSender thread as it used to if no CPU profiles are being collected.
ProfilerEventsProcessor::ProcessEventsAndDoSample now waits in a tight loop, processing collected samples until sampling interval expires. To save CPU resources I'm planning to change that to use nanosleep as only one sample is expected in the queue at any point.

- perform CPU profiler sampling in the sampler thread as we used to;
- skip sampling in the sampling thread if processing thread is running;
- only install SIGPROF handler when CPU profiling is enabled.

The patch introduces CommittedPhysicalMemory function to
the Heap class that reports committed *physical* memory acquired
for the heap from the OS.
It is important because some OSes may defer actual committment on e.g.
first access to the region.
So reporting just plain committed size led to various weird artifacts
like showing V8 allocated memory higher than the whole process
private size.

This CL:
- Adds a new trait parameter to LazyInstance to let it initialize the instance
without paying the cost of atomic operations (which are expensive on Mac).
This only works for users who don't care about thread-safety and this is now
the default initialization trait used by LazyInstance in v8.
- Reverts the changes that were made in r11010 in isolate.{cc,h}. That lets
Isolate's accessors be as cheap as they were before (but adds one static initializer).
- Adds OS::PostSetup() used to initialize the math functions which depend on CPU features.
That lets the math functions get rid of CallOnce().

This change includes two CLs by pliard@chromium.org:
1. http://codereview.chromium.org/9447052/ (Add CallOnce() and simple LazyInstance implementation):
Note that this implementation of LazyInstance does not handle global destructors (i.e. the lazy instances are never deleted).
This CL was initially reviewed on codereview.appspot.com:
http://codereview.appspot.com/5687064/
2. http://codereview.chromium.org/9455088/ (Remove static initializers in v8):
This CL depends on CL 9447052 (adding CallOnce and LazyInstance).
It is based on a patch sent by Digit.
With this patch applied, we have only one static initializer left (in atomicops_internals_x86_gcc.cc). This static initializer populates a structure used by x86 atomic operations. It seems that we can hardly remove it. If possible, it will be removed in a next CL.
This CL also modifies the presubmit script to check the number of static initializers.

The preprocessor defines ENABLE_LOGGING_AND_PROFILING and ENABLE_VMSTATE_TRACKING has been removed as these where required to be turned on for Crankshaft to work. To re-enable reducing the binary size by leaving out heap and CPU profiler a new set of defines needs to be created.

o The thread local state in an isolate has to be initialized before
it's used.
o v8::Locker was incorrectly tracking whether it's the topmost one.
o Waking the profiler thread on shutdown should not leave the
semaphore counter in an inconsitent state.

Thread class was receiving an isolate parameter by default.
This approact violates the assumption that only VM threads
can have an associated isolate, and can lead to troubles,
because accessing the same isolate from different threads
leads to race conditions.
This was found by investigating mysterious failures of the
CPU profiler layout test on Linux Chromium. As almost all
threads were associated with some isolate, the sampler was
trying to sample them.
As a side effect, we have also fixed the DebuggerAgent test.
Thanks to Vitaly for help in fixing isolates handling!

pthreads implementations are free to reuse pthread_t (thread id) after
the thread has died. This change gets rid of ThreadHandle class and
replaces it with v8-managed thread identifiers.
