- 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).

The new instance type 'Symbol' represents ES6 symbols (a.k.a. private/unique names). Currently, symbols are simple data objects that only carry a hash code, random-generated upon allocation.
The new type 'Name' now serves as the common super class for strings and symbols, and is supposed to represent property names. We will eventually migrate APIs from String to Name for the standard key type.
Strings and symbols share the same hash field representation, via the Name class. This way, we should be able to use the same code paths for symbols and internalized strings in most cases. Also, Symbol's instance type code is allocated adjacent to internalized string codes in the enum, allowing a simple range check for the common case.

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).

This fixes the deoptimizer to materialize arguments objects of correct
length even in cases where the actual argument values are unknown and
were optimized away by Crankshaft. This can happen if only the length
property or the identity of an arguments object is used.

Previously, we would disassemble some VFP instructions like this:
vmla.f64eq d16, d17, d18
This patch moves the condition to the right place:
vmlaeq.f64 d16, d17, d18

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.

This moves the __proto__ property to Object.prototype and turns it into
a callback property actually present in the descriptor array as opposed
to a hack in the properties lookup. For now it still is a "magic" data
property using foreign callbacks and not an accessor property visible to
JavaScript.
The second effect of this change is that JSON.parse() no longer treats
the __proto__ property specially, it will be defined as any other data
property. Note that object literals still have their special handling.

This speeds up isFrozen/isSealed checks on "normal" objects without
slowing down checks on frozen/sealed objects.
Though this ordering is not what ES5 specifies, the difference is not
observable (especially since the code bails out if the passed-in object
is a proxy).

When there are interceptors on an object, it's possible to
end up with duplicate property names. But when all the names
are provided by v8, a collision is not possible, so we can
fast-path that case by not de-duping.
Also added better test coverage for interceptor API.

This patch makes us generate faster code for DoStoreKeyedFixedDoubleArray,
by using a branch rather than a conditional Vmov instruction.
Conditional VFP instructions are not a great idea in general, and it was
especially bad in this case because Vmov expands to a bunch of instructions.
For this reason, the patch also removes the 'cond' parameter from Vmov.
Thanks to Rodolph for pointing me to this!
