- 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.

The order by name is maintained as secondary order by using unused bits in the property details.
This is preliminary work towards sharing descriptors arrays.
The change allows us
- to get rid of the LastAdded bits in the map, binding it to the number of valid descriptors for the given map
- to avoid resorting by enumeration index to create the cache
- (maybe in the future, depending on performance) to get rid of the enumeration cache altogether.
Although generally the number_of_descriptors equals the NumberOfOwnDescriptors in the current version, this is preliminary work towards sharing descriptors, where maps may have more descriptors than are valid for the map.

Now a map points to a transition array which contains the descriptor array. The descriptor array is now immutable. The next step is to share the descriptor array with all back-pointed maps as long as there is a single line of extension. Maps that require a descriptor array but don't need transitions will still need a pseudo-empty transition array to contain the descriptor array.

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.

Using insertion-sort won't have too much of an overhead for the short arrays for bootstrapping (which are probably snapshot anyway).
CopyAppendCallbackDescriptors was extending and sorting the array in a loop. By using an append that inserts at the right position we do not need to resort in each iteration.
Additionally remove Sort and rename SortUnchecked to Sort. The IsSortedNoDuplicates check is moved into InitializeDescriptor.

AccessorPair related transitions are now also stored as single map links, simplifying the code that handles transitions. AccessorPairs can now be shared between descriptor arrays, since they can only be mutated after another transition anyway; during which the pair is copied before writing.

The LastAdded points to the descriptor that was last added to the array. From the descriptor we can deduce the NextEnumerationIndex. This allows us to quickly find the property that we are transitioning to, which is necessary for transition-intensive code, eg JSON parsing.

Specifically:
- In parser, check that all exports are defined.
- Move JSModule allocation from parser to scope resolution.
- Move JSModule linking from full codegen to scope resolution.
- Implement module accessors for exported value members.
- Allocate module contexts statically along with JSModules
(to allow static linking), but chain them when module literal is evaluated.
- Make module contexts' extension slot refer to resp. JSModule
(makes modules' ScopeInfo accessible from context).
- Some other tweaks to context handling in general.
- Make any code containing module literals (and thus embedding
static references to JSModules) non-cacheable.
This enables accessing module instance objects as expected.
Import declarations are a separate feature and do not work yet.

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.

Instead of overwriting non-live transitions with NULL_DESCRIPTORs, we remove them from the array by compacting the array (shifting live values to the left) and in-place trimming the array. If the final descriptor array contains no live values (only contained transitions which are now all cleared), we move bit_field3 back from the descriptor array to the map. The descriptor array itself will be collected in the next GC.

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.

Removes 6 out of 8 of our remaining unintentional failures on test262.
Also fixes treatment of inherited setters added after the fact.
Specifically:
- In the runtime, when looking for setter callbacks in the prototype chain,
also look for read-only properties. If one is found, reject (exception in
strict mode). If a proxy is found, invoke proper trap.
Note: this folds in the CanPut function from the spec and avoids an extra
lookup over the prototype chain.
- In generated code for stores, insert a test for the maps from the prototype
chain, but only up to the object where the property already exists (which
may be the object itself).
In Hydrogen, if the found property is read-only or not cacheable (e.g. a
proxy), bail out; in a stub, generate an unconditional miss (to get an
exception in strict mode).
- Add test cases and adapt existing test expectations.

This is basically r11496, with the following changes:
* Set back pointers in maps (cherry-picked from r11528)
* Fixed size calculation in CopyInsert, as proposed by mstarzinger/rossberg
* DefineFastAccessor uses GetCallbackObject instead of GetValue (for __proto__)
* Put the code under a new flag, which is disabled by default
* Cut down the corresponding regression test
* Adapted bootup memory test, we actually only need a bit more memory on 64bit without snapshots, which can easily explained by more live maps lying around. Note that the snapshot variants are back to their previous limits.
Next steps: Investigate any performance degradationswith the flag enabled, and finally remove the flag when things are OK. Furthermore, GetCallbackObject should be merged into GetValue, the distinction is confusing and error-prone.

This makes back pointers in the map transition tree explicit by having
accurate back pointers throughout the lifetime of maps instead of
establishing and destroying back pointers before and after each marking
phase. This is a prerequisite for being able to clear map transitions
during incremental marking.

AccessorPairs can now contain map transitions, which is similar to our current
handling of CONSTANT_FUNCTION/CONSTANT_TRANSITION, but generalized to a pair for
holding info about the getter and the setter. This way we can achieve map
sharing for objects with accessor properties, which is a prerequisite for making
them fast via inlining. We fall back to the previous way of handling accessor
properties when sharing is not possible or we don't handle a special case.
Note: When an exisiting accessor property is redefined we could in principle
move the AccessorPair out of the descriptor into the object itself (again just
like the way we do something similar for CONSTANT_FUNCTION/CONSTANT_TRANSITION),
but this would require a new property kind for holding a pair of values. Perhaps
we can implement this later, but for now this hopefully rare case is handled
like before, losing map sharing and potentially creating more maps than strictly
necessary.

Constructs the (generally cyclic) graph of module instance objects
and populates their exports. Any exports other than nested modules
are currently set to 'undefined' (but already present as properties).
Details:
- Added new type JSModule for instance objects: a JSObject carrying a context.
- Statically allocate instance objects for all module literals (in parser 8-}).
- Extend interfaces to record and unify concrete instance objects,
and to support iteration over members.
- Introduce new runtime function for pushing module contexts.
- Generate code for allocating, initializing, and setting module contexts,
and for populating instance objects from module literals.
Currently, all non-module exports are still initialized with 'undefined'.
- Module aliases are resolved statically, so no special code is required.
- Make sure that code containing module constructs is never optimized
(macrofy AST node construction flag setting while we're at it).
- Add test case checking linkage.

Although things are currently OK here, in the future it won't be enough to check
for the existence of a CALLBACKS result, we must additionally check that it
actually contains an accessor. In a nutshell: 'sed s/IsFound/IsProperty/' once
again...
Additionally, the control flow in DefinePropertyAccessor has been simplified by
using a helper function.
