Lots of web pages have really frequently firing timers that keep the
profiler thread spinning if we require a period of JS inactivity
before suspending the profiler. While it's possible to throttle it by
increasing the sleep delay and adjusting the duration of the required
inactive period, it seemed much simpler to just stop it immediately on
exiting JS.
Stopping the profiler this way effectively turned off two optimization
heuristics: 1) eager optimization (it's reset on waking up the
profiler and now the profiler wakes up much more frequently) and 2)
optimization throttling based on JS to non-JS state ratio (the ratio
is now 100%). I removed these two heuristics and found no performance
regressions so far.

Thread class was receiving an isolate parameter by default.
This approact violates the assumption that only VM threads
can have an associated isolate, and can lead to troubles,
because accessing the same isolate from different threads
leads to race conditions.
This was found by investigating mysterious failures of the
CPU profiler layout test on Linux Chromium. As almost all
threads were associated with some isolate, the sampler was
trying to sample them.
As a side effect, we have also fixed the DebuggerAgent test.
Thanks to Vitaly for help in fixing isolates handling!

Switched to using binary low-level log instead of the textual log used
by the ticks processor. The binary log contains code-related events,
code object names, and their bodies. When writing to the log we ask
glibc to use a larger buffer. To avoid complex processing of the
snapshot log (which is still textual) the serializer emits final
snapshot position to code name mappings that can be quickly be read
without replaying the snapshot log. (This might be useful for the
ticks processor.)

The ScannerConstants class was originally static fields on the scanner class.
During creation of the stand-alone preparser and later isolates, it has been
moved into a separate class with a per-isolate instance.
It is used to hold caching unicode Predicate values.
This change renames the class to UnicodeCache, and passes a reference
to the instance down to methods that doesn't have an easy access to
an isolate (to avoid, e.g., having to do an Isolate::Current() for every
number parsed).

Patch by Dmitry Lomov.
pthreads implementations are free to reuse pthread_t (thread id) after
the thread has died. This change gets rid of ThreadHandle class and
replaces it with v8-managed thread identifiers.

Correctly process failures which can be returned by Object::GetProperty
when performing GetRealNamedProperty* queries.
Callback properties can produce exceptions so we need to wrap access to them
into exception checks. However, despite of many other methods with exception
checks, property access doesn't mandatroy go via JavaScript and hence we
need to inject code to propagate exception to public API TryCatch handlers.

It should now be possible to build the preparser using 'scons preparser' in both release and debug modes.
Remove v8.h include from scanner-base.h and other files.
Remove NativeAllocationChecker and all of its kind.
Moved Isolate::PreallocatedStorage* to isolate.cc

This commit adds current working versions of assembler, macro-assembler,
disassembler, and simulator.
All other mips arch files are replaced with stubbed-out versions that
will build.
Arch independent files are updated as needed to support building and
running mips.
The only test is cctest/test-assembler-mips, and this passes on the
simulator and on mips hardware.
