To keep the structure of the serializer more or less untouched, we use
some ingenious Corry-approved(TM) 3-step technology (a.k.a. "hack"):
* Create copies of code objects.
* Wipe out all absolute addresses in these copies.
* Write out the cleaned copies instead of the originals.
In conjunction with --random-seed, our snapshots are reproducible now.

Previously, the result of target_reference_address() could only be
read, writing to it would have had an architecture-dependent effect,
e.g. writing into the code on ia32, a no-op on arm, etc.
This refactoring-only CL turns this into a simple getter, making it
impossible to use incorrectly.
More to come...

This change means that code which is never executed is garbage collected immediately, and code which is only executed once is collected more quickly (limiting heap growth), however, code which is re-executed is reset to the young age, thus being kept around for the same number of GC generations as currently.

Patch from Ross McIlroy <rmcilroy@chromium.org>.

New abstract class CodeEventListener was created.
CodeEventLogger which is the base class for Jit, LowLevel
and CodeAddressMap loggers was inherited from CodeEventListener.
CodeAddressMap class was moved to serializer.cc because serializer is the only user for it. Actually it collects code names and pushes them to the standard log as SnapshotCodeNameEvent. So I extracted this code into separate function CodeNameEvent. It happens that this method works only when Serializer serializes an object. So I added direct log call there.
CodeEventLogger class declaration was moved to the header
because CodeAddressMap needs it.
The code for the nested class CodeEventLogger::NameBuffer was left in the cc file.
CpuProfiler now is inherit CodeEventListener but not used
the loggers infrastructure yet due to the complex initialization schema. I'd like to fix that in a separate cl.

* Allocations of AllocationSites occur in generated code, so generated code needs to be able to add to the list. For now I have a special hydrogen instruction, though it would be nice to use general purpose instructions.
* The snapshot contains AllocationSites, and these need to be re-threaded into the list on deserialization.
Something nice is that the AllocationSites are only created in old space, so a special new space visitor isn't required.

in preparation of the introduction of ES6 'symbols' (aka private/unique names).
The SymbolTable became the StringTable. I also made sure to adapt all comments. The only remaining use of the term "symbol" (other than unrelated uses in the parser and such) is now 'NewSymbol' in the API and the 'V8.KeyedLoadGenericSymbol' counter, changing which might break embedders.
The one functional change in this CL is that I removed the former 'empty_string' constant, since it is redundant given the 'empty_symbol' constant that we also had (and both were used inconsistently).

Unified parameter order of CreateHandle with the rest of v8 on the way. A few
Isolate::Current()s had to be introduced, which is not nice, and not every place
will win a beauty contest, but we can clean this up later easily in smaller steps.

This includes:
* Adding support for saving callee-clobbered double registers in Crankshaft code.
* Adding a new "HTrapAllocationMemento" hydrogen instruction to handle AllocationSiteInfo data in crankshafted stubs.
* Adding a new "HAllocate" hydrogen instruction that can allocate raw memory from the GC in crankshafted code.
* Support for manipulation of the hole in HChange instructions for Crankshafted stubs.
* Utility routines to manually build loops and if statements containing hydrogen code.

When code objects in the heap for FUNCTIONs and OPTIMIZED_FUNCTIONs are marked by the GC, their prologue is patched with a call to a stub that removes the patch. This allows the collector to quickly identify code objects that haven't been executed since the last full collection (they are the ones that sill contain the patch). The functionality is currently disabled, but can be activated by specifying the "--age-code".

the speed of deserializing code. The current startup
time improvement for V8 is around 6%, but code deserialization
is speeded up disproportionately, and we will soon have more
code in the snapshot.
* Removed support for deserializing into large object space.
The regular pages are 1Mbyte now and that is plenty. This
is a big simplification.
* Instead of reserving space for the snapshot we actually
allocate it now. This removes some special casing from
the memory management and simplifies deserialization since
we are just bumping a pointer rather than calling the
normal allocation routines during deserialization.
* Record in the snapshot how much we need to boot up and
allocate it instead of just assuming that allocations in
a new VM will always be linear.
* In the snapshot we always address an object as a negative
offset from the current allocation point. We used to
sometimes address from the start of the deserialized data,
but this is less useful now that we have good support for
roots and repetitions in the deserialization data.
* Code objects were previously deserialized (like other
objects) by alternating raw data (deserialized with memcpy)
and pointers (to external references, other objects, etc.).
Now we deserialize code objects with a single memcpy,
followed by a series of skips and pointers that partially
overwrite the code we memcopied out of the snapshot.
The skips are sometimes merged into the following
instruction in the deserialization data to reduce dispatch
time.
* Integers in the snapshot were stored in a variable length
format that gives a compact representation for small positive
integers. This is still the case, but the new encoding can
be decoded without branches or conditional instructions,
which is faster on a modern CPU.

mksnapshot or a VM that is booted from a snapshot. --debug-code
can still have an effect on stub and optimized code and it still
works on the full code generator when running without snapshots.
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.

with more JS code that is loaded into the VM before writing the snapshot. Get
rid of the hard coded limit on the partial snapshot cache size. This change
disables most of the serializer tests for the snapshot build of the VM: It's
getting too complicated to support both booting from a snapshot and then
creating a new snapshot from the same VM or loading more code with another
snapshot in the same VM.
