7b7bb25a24 Support external startup data in V8.
[Re-retry of r21696 and r21739]

If the embedder chooses, the 'natives' (library sources) and the
precompiled startup blob can be written to files during the build
process and handed over to V8 at startup. The main purpose would be
to reduce the size of the compiled binary for space constrained
platforms.

The build-time option is off by default. Nothing should change if
it's not enabled.

These switches are analogous to --omit and --raw for js2c.py.
The goal it to allow embedders to externally load all (or generate) the V8 startup data.

There's a bit of gratuitous refactoring with the writing logic that helped me understand the code. Let me know if it's not an improvement.

5567426483 Do not put allocated block into HeapObjectsMap
Heap allocation reported to AllocationTracker may be later divided into several objects so it is incorrect to put the block as a new HeapObject into the map. We will match allocated block with actual HeapObjects later when iterating Heap (will be addressed in another patch). Since the objects are not assigned an id immediately after creation we need to call FindOrAddEntry when finding id for SharedFunctionInfo during stack crawling.

Removed hooks for tracking creation of AllocationMemento. AllocationMemento is not a HeapObject and should be considered as implementation overhead.

Renamed NewObjectEvent to AllocationEvent which is more precise in case of folded allocations and when a part of the new block becomes AllocationMemento.

141ada02f2 Logger: introduce abstract interface for CodeEvent listeners.
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.

b9f0c06ab2 The gc should be able to traverse all AllocationSites for decision making. The sites are threaded into a weak list. Special problems include:
* 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.

55f93b5532 Renamed "symbols" to "internalized strings" throughout the code base,
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).

5a8d1764bc Refactoring of snapshots. This simplifies and improves
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.

8d96a0190c Fix deserializer to understand direct pointers from code to cell payloads.
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.

458e87fd05 Snapshots: Add --extra-code flag to mksnapshot which lets you specify a file
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.
