Original change's description:

> This change begins to implement the functionality described in

> This change adds a new library, v8_debug_helper, for providing platform-
> agnostic assistance with postmortem debugging. This library can be used
> by extensions built for debuggers such as WinDbg or lldb. Its public API
> is described by debug-helper.h; currently the only method it exposes is
> GetObjectProperties, but we'd like to add more functionality over time.
> The API surface is restricted to plain C-style structs and pointers, so
> that it's easy to link from a debugger extension built with a different
> toolchain.
>
> This change also adds a new cctest file to exercise some basic
> interaction with the new library.
>
> The API function GetObjectProperties takes an object pointer (which
> could be compressed, or weak, or a SMI), and returns a string
> description of the object and a list of properties the object contains.
> For now, the list of properties is entirely based on Torque object
> definitions, but we expect to add custom properties in future updates so
> that it can be easier to make sense of complex data structures such as
> dictionaries.

This change begins to implement the functionality described in
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1evHnb1uLlSbvHAAsmOXyc25x3uh1DjgNa8u1RHvwVhk/edit#
for investigating V8 state in crash dumps.
This change adds a new library, v8_debug_helper, for providing platform-
agnostic assistance with postmortem debugging. This library can be used
by extensions built for debuggers such as WinDbg or lldb. Its public API
is described by debug-helper.h; currently the only method it exposes is
GetObjectProperties, but we'd like to add more functionality over time.
The API surface is restricted to plain C-style structs and pointers, so
that it's easy to link from a debugger extension built with a different
toolchain.
This change also adds a new cctest file to exercise some basic
interaction with the new library.
The API function GetObjectProperties takes an object pointer (which
could be compressed, or weak, or a SMI), and returns a string
description of the object and a list of properties the object contains.
For now, the list of properties is entirely based on Torque object
definitions, but we expect to add custom properties in future updates so
that it can be easier to make sense of complex data structures such as
dictionaries.
GetObjectProperties does several things that are intended to generate
somewhat useful results even in cases where memory may be corrupt or
unavailable:
- The caller may optionally provide a type string which will be used if
the memory for the object's Map is inaccessible.
- All object pointers are compared against the list of known objects
generated by mkgrokdump. The caller may optionally provide the
pointers for the first pages of various heap spaces, to avoid spurious
matches. If those pointers are not provided, then any matches are
prefixed with "maybe" in the resulting description string, such as
"maybe UndefinedValue (0x4288000341 <Oddball>)".

The client API provides a much simpler interface so that we don't have
to deal with producers, consumers etc. directly. This CL removes all the
code that dealt with the more complex API used previously.
The architecture used here requires that the embedder call into
Tracing::Initialize() to set up the tracing backend. The tracing
controller then connects to this backend when calling
DataSource::Register() and Tracing::NewTrace(). This will ultimately
avoid the need for a virtual call (or two) for every trace event that
need to be dispatched over the API - chrome can provide a backend
and V8 will connect to it opaquely with the same code when tracing is
enabled.

In the process, add a few simple tests for "constexpr" expressions, which
identified a few bugs that are also fixed in this CL.
