Refresh the implementation of Symbols to catch up with what the
specification now mandates:
* The global Symbol() function manufactures new Symbol values,
optionally with a string description attached.
* Invoking Symbol() as a constructor will now throw.
* ToString() over Symbol values still throws, and
Object.prototype.toString() stringifies like before.
* A Symbol value is wrapped in a Symbol object either implicitly if
it is the receiver, or explicitly done via Object(symbolValue) or
(new Object(symbolValue).)
* The Symbol.prototype.toString() method no longer throws on Symbol
wrapper objects (nor Symbol values.) Ditto for Symbol.prototype.valueOf().
* Symbol.prototype.toString() stringifies as "Symbol("<description>"),
valueOf() returns the wrapper's Symbol value.
* ToPrimitive() over Symbol wrapper objects now throws.
Overall, this provides a stricter separation between Symbol values and
wrapper objects than before, and the explicit fetching out of the
description (nee name) via the "name" property is no longer supported
(by the spec nor the implementation.)
Adjusted existing Symbol test files to fit current, adding some extra
tests for new/changed behavior.

Patch from Sigbjorn Finne <sigbjornf@opera.com>.
git-svn-id: http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/branches/bleeding_edge@19490 ce2b1a6d-e550-0410-aec6-3dcde31c8c00
We used to have error messages which provide context, like "Variable name may
not be eval or arguments in strict mode", but for other illegal words we only
have non-context specific error messages like "Unexpected reserved word".
Providing the context makes the code unnecessarily complex, since every
individual place must remember to check for eval or arguments. This CL produces
a unified error message ("Unexpected eval or arguments in strict mode"), and puts
the error reporting to (Pre)Parser::ParseIdentifier.
Notes:
- The module feature is so experimental, that I decided to not allow "eval" or
"arguments" as module-related identifiers in the strict mode (even though this
check wasn't there before).
- Unfortunately, there were some inconsistencies, since it was the
responsibility of the caller of ParseIdentifier to check "eval" and "arguments"
and some places didn't have the check for no good reason. This CL is supposed to
keep backward compatibility and *not* introduce any new errors.
- ECMA allows "eval" and "arguments" as labels even in strict mode. (Syntax:
"LabelledStatement: Identifier : Statement", and no strict mode restrictions on
Identifier are listed.)
- Tests which compare error message strings will fail, and need to be updated.

This contains the following fixes:
- We had strict_reserved_word and unexpected_strict_reserved, which one to use
was totally mixed in Parser and PreParser. Removed strict_reserved_word.
- When we saw a strict future reserved word when expecting something completely
different (such as "(" in "function foo interface"), Parser reports unexpected
identifier, whereas PreParser used to report unexpected strict reserved
word. Fixed PreParser to report unexpected identifier too.
- Unified parser and preparser error locations when the name of a function is a
strict reserved word. Now both point to the name.

Based on prototype at
https://github.com/rossberg-chromium/js-promise
which informed the latest spec draft version at
https://github.com/domenic/promises-unwrapping/blob/master/README.md
Activated by --harmony-promises.
Feature complete with respect to the draft spec, plus the addition of .when and .deferred methods. Final naming and other possible deviations from the current draft will hopefully be resolved soon after the next TC39 meeting.
This CL also generalises the Object.observe delivery loop into a simplistic microtask loop. Currently, all observer events are delivered before invoking any promise handler in a single fixpoint iteration. It's not clear yet what the final semantics is supposed to be (should there be a global event ordering?), but it will probably require a more thorough event loop abstraction inside V8 once we get there.

Adds a notion of private symbols, mainly intended for internal use, especially, self-hosting of built-in types that would otherwise require new C++ classes.
On the JS side (i.e., in built-ins), private properties can be created and accessed through a set of macros:
NEW_PRIVATE(print_name)
HAS_PRIVATE(obj, sym)
GET_PRIVATE(obj, sym)
SET_PRIVATE(obj, sym, val)
DELETE_PRIVATE(obj, sym)
In the V8 API, they are accessible via a new class Private, and respective HasPrivate/Get/Private/SetPrivate/DeletePrivate methods on calss Object.
These APIs are designed and restricted such that their implementation can later be replaced by whatever ES7+ will officially provide.

If an developer attempts to "subclass" Error by running
`MyError.prototype = new Error();`, then the internal v8::Message object
that's produced and handed off to `window.onerror` handlers is poorly
stringified as "[object Object]".
This patch adjusts the stringification process for these objects to
include not only native Error objects, but also objects that have Error
in their prototype chain, and haven't overwritten Error.toString with
some custom variant.

This enables custom stack trace formatting for stack overflow.
A consequence is that stack trace formatting is now easily observable,
but we already established that the default stack trace formatting can
be observed anyways. It is only triggered by the .stack getter, and
it has to be explicitly called, (e.g. not implicitly after GC).
