Also check more than one character at a time.
16-bit immediates requires a prefix that changes the length of the instruction.
This causes predecoder mispredictions and subsequent pipeline stalls.
Also removed redundant "atStart" local variable which is equivalent to startIndex == 0.

As the start index is already passed it is easy to calculate the "at start" boolean in generated code. Also as direct entry has been implemented this needs to be done in generated code anyway, and therefore might as well be moved to the generated code for RegExp. The "at start" value is now calcualted as a local variable on the native RegExp frame based on the value of the start index argument.
The x64 version have been tested on both Linux and 64-bit Windows Vista.
For ARM I have tested cctest/test-regexp on ARM hardware, but the rest of the tests have only been run on the ARM simulator.

Calls to RegExp no longer have to be via a call to the runtime system. A new stub have been added which can handle this call in generated code. The stub checks all the parameters and creates RegExp entry frame in the same way as it is created by the runtime system. Bailout to the runtime system is done whenever an uncommon situation is encountered or when the static data used is not initialized. After running the native RegExp code the last match info is updated like in the runtime system.
Currently only ASCII strings are handled.
Added another argument to the RegExp entry frame. It indicated whether the call is direct from JavaScript code or through the runtime system. This information is used when RegExp execution is interrupted. If an interruption happens when RegExp code is called directly a retry is issued causing the interruption to be handled via the runtime system. The reason for this is that the direct call to RegExp code does not support garbage collection.
