This enables code flushing even with incremental marking enabled and
fully shares the function link field in JSFunctions between candidates
for code flushing and the optimized functions list. If a candidate for
code flushing gets optimized, it will be evicted from the candidates
list.

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.

mksnapshot or a VM that is booted from a snapshot. --debug-code
can still have an effect on stub and optimized code and it still
works on the full code generator when running without snapshots.
The deoptimizer generates full-code-generator code and relies on it having
the same layout as last time. This means that the code the full code
generator makes for the snapshot should be the same as the code it makes
later. This change makes the full code generator create more consistent
code between mksnapshot time and run time.
This is a bug fix and a step towards making the snapshot code more robust.

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.

This changes the compiler to be more aggressive about lazy compilation
of closures with non-trivial outer context. Compilation can only be
triggered with a valid outer context now. One exception is the debugger,
which can request compilation of arbitrary shared code, but it ensures
to trigger compilation only at points where no context is needed.
This relands r11782, r11783, r11790 and a minor fix.
