- The global object has a reference to the current global scope chain.
Running a script adds to the chain if it contains global lexical declarations.
- Scripts are executed relative to a global, not a native context.
- Harmony let and const bindings are allocated to the innermost global context;
var and function still live on the global object.
(Lexical bindings are not reflected on the global object at all,
but that will probably change later using accessors, as for modules.)
- Compilation of scripts now needs a (global) context (previously only eval did).
- The global scope chain represents one logical scope, so collision tests take
the chain into account.

I also discovered that our treatment of const declarations is inconsistent
when inside a global eval under 'with' (i.e., when created by
DeclareContextSlots). That is,
var x;
eval("const x = 9")
and
var x;
eval("with({}) const x = 9")
differ (the former assigns 9, the latter throws). This appears to be an
oversight from earlier changes to our const semantics (the latter shouldn't
throw either). Fixing this is a separate issue, though (and one that doesn't
seem quite worthwhile).

Original commit message:
We passed this flag around in a lot of places and had differenc call
ICs based on it, but never did any real specialization based on its
value.

Call accessors in the global object prototype when initializing global
variables. Function declarations are special cased for compatibility
with Safari and setters are not called for them. If this special
casing was not done webkit layout tests would fail.
Make the declaration of global const variables in the presence of
callbacks a redeclaration error.
Handle const context slot declarations conflicting with a CALLBACK as
a redeclaration error. That is, unless it is on a context extension
object which is not a real object and therefore conceptually have no
accessors in prototype chains. Accessors in prototype chains of
context extension objects are explicitly ignored in SetProperty.

Eventually named property query callbacks will return attributes
(as an integer) or an empty handle if property is not intercepted.
To gradually migrate to this new API, USE_NEW_QUERY_CALLBACK
macro would control if old or new style API is used.
So the migration plan is:
1) introduce new API which should be explictily enabled;
2) switch to new API defining USE_NEW_QUERY_CALLBACK before
include of <v8.h> (that would require changes to client code as well)
3) remove old API from v8
4) remove #define USE_NEW_QUERY_CALLBACK from clients.

In the shell sample don't print the result of executing a script, only
evaluating expressions.
Fixed issue when building samples on Windows using a shared V8
library. Added visibility option on Linux build which makes the
generated library 18% smaller.
Changed build system to accept multiple build modes in one build and
generate seperate objects, libraries and executables for each mode.
Removed deferred negation optimization (a * -b => -(a * b)) since this
visibly changes operand conversion order.
Improved parsing performance by introducing stack guard in preparsing.
Without a stack guard preparsing always bails out with stack overflow.
