This change fixes data race described in the bug by adding Acquire_Load to SamplingCircularQueue::StartDequeue and Acquire_Store to SamplingCircularQueue::Enqueue.
Also the queue implementation imposed a constraint on the records it stored: the first AtomicWord in each record was a marker. For that purpose TickSampleEventRecord had filter field of type int. This approach is error prone, e.g. on x64 sizeof(AtomicWord) is 8 while sizeof(int) is 4. Moreover the queue needs such marker only at the beginning of chunk. I changed the queue so that it stores the marker explicitly as the first Cell in chunk and removed the filter field.

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.

Circular queues serve as a transport for communicating between
VM, stack sampler and analyzer threads. Logging requirements
for VM and stack sampler are completely different, that's why
I introduced two different versions of CQs.
