When entering a finally block in unoptimized code, we unconditionally
save the accumulator register in the stack in case it holds a return
value or an exception. In the case of a break, continue, or falling
off the end of the try or catch block, this value is unpredictable and
not necessarily safe for GC.

This is an improved version of my earlier change r5970. It avoids degrading the
non-optimized code.
Initially we emit a conditional branch that is either always- or never-taken
after a smi-check (depending on whether we test for smi for for non-smi)
Since test-eax always sets the carry-flag to 0 we use jump-if-carry and
jump-if-not-carry.
The first invocation of the stub patches a jc with a jz and
jnc with a jnz-instruction so that the code looks exactly as it was
without patching. The only difference is the test- or nop-instruction
after the IC-call.

This fixes V8 issue 989.
Before, assignments used the AST ID of the assignment expression to
mark the side effect of the store, which became a target for
deoptimization bailout for code after the assignment. In effect
contexts this environment included the value of the assignment, which
was unexpected by the unoptimized code.
Now we introduce a new assignment ID for AST node types that include
an assignment (Assignment, CountOperation, and ForInStatement) and use
it for the side effect of the store.

In the case of inlined smi code in non-optimzied code we could not
distinguish between the smi-only case and the case that the operation was
never executed.
With this change the first execution of a binary operation always jumps
to the stub which in turn patches the smi-check into the correct
conditional branch, so that we benefit from inlined smi code after the
first invocation.
A nop instruction after the call to the BinaryOpIC indicates that no
smi code was inlined. A "test eax" instruction says that there was smi
code inlined and encodes the delta to the patch site and the condition
code of the branch at the patch site to restore the original jump.

For some reason, the scope's arguments and arguments shadow were
variable proxies, which resulted in all references to the arguments
shadow being shared in the AST. This makes it hard to put per-node
state on the AST nodes.
I took the opportunity to remove Variable::AsVariable which has
confused people in the past, and to rename Variable::slot to the more
accurate Variable::AsSlot.

This change introduces near labels in the assembler, allowing us to
uptimize forward jumps (conditional and unconditional) if we can
guarantee that the jump is witin range -128 to +127.
I changed a large fractions of the existing Labels to NearLabels, and
left out cases where it was not immediately clear if it could be used
or not (not immediately clear means labels covering a large code
block, or used in function calls which we could potentially change to
accept near labels).

Object model changes
----------------------------------------
New fixed_cow_array_map is used for the elements array of a JSObject
to mark it as COW. The JSObject's map and other fields are not
affected. The JSObject's map still has the "fast elements" bit set. It
means we can do only the receiver map check in keyed loads and the
receiver and the elements map checks in keyed stores. So introducing
COW arrays doesn't hurt performance of these operations. But note that
the elements map check is necessary in all mutating operations because
the "has fast elements" bit now means "has fast elements for reading".
EnsureWritableFastElements can be used in runtime functions to perform
the necessary lazy copying.
Generated code changes
----------------------------------------
Generic keyed load is updated to only do the receiver map check (this
could have been done earlier). FastCloneShallowArrayStub now has two
modes: clone elements and use COW elements. AssertFastElements macro
is added to check the elements when necessary. The custom call IC
generators for Array.prototype.{push,pop} are updated to avoid going
to the slow case (and patching the IC) when calling the builtin should
work.
COW enablement
----------------------------------------
Currently we only put shallow and simple literal arrays in the COW
mode. This is done by the parser.

This adds a check to the fast case string add to ensure that the String object still have the default valueOf function. The default valueOf is sitting on a hidden prototype of String.prototype.
Before using the fast case valueOf the object is checked for a local valueOf property. For slow case objects this check always reports true (the dictionary is not probed, so valueOf might be there) and for fast case objects the descriptor array is checked for the valueOf symbol (just liniar scan). After that the prototype is checked for beeing the initial value of String.prototype. If this all pass (that is the default valueOf is still in place) this result is cached on the map making the check fast the next time.
This is only implemented in the optimizing compiler, as the two usages of %_IsStringWrapperSafeForDefaultValueOf is never hit by the full compiler.
I will port to x64 and ARM when this has been reviewed for ia32.
I will remove the performance counters prior to final commit.
