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.

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.

In the traditional MIPS naming scheme, "mips" is used for
big-endian mips and "mipsel" is used for little-endian mips.
In V8 the "mips" build is little-endian, so the "mips" target is
renamed to "mipsel" to be compliant with the traditional MIPS
naming scheme.
This change is also required for supporting the Chromium project on MIPS.

common.gypi now contains global target defaults and is included by all .gyp files;
standalone.gypi contains definitions for stand-alone v8 builds.
This fixes d8 for the ARM simulator.
TEST=compiles and tests pass on all platforms

Updated the armu.gypi to set values for variables which does not have a default. These variables was recently added to v8.gyp.
Moved the what will be shared between building the v8 library and the cctests to a separate include file. For now this file is currently only used by cctest.gyp. the reason is that the cctests are not just using the API but also internal functions so the C++ defines and optons needs to be the same when compiling the cctests files as when compiling the v8 library files.

This is based on the structore used in chromium with a script wrapping the call to gyp itself and the default processing of common.gypi.
It is possible to build all our targets on Intel Linux for all architectures (ia32, x64 and ARM simulator). When this is committed I wil take a look at Windows.
See the README.txt file in the changelist for the current way of using it.
