Now that ES2015 const has shipped, in Chrome 49, legacy const declarations
are no more. This lets us remove a bunch of code from many parts of the
codebase.
In this patch, I remove parser support for generating legacy const variables
from const declarations. This also removes the special "illegal declaration"
bit from Scope, which has ripples into all compiler backends.
Also gone are any tests which relied on legacy const declarations.
Note that we do still generate a Variable in mode CONST_LEGACY in one case:
function name bindings in sloppy mode. The likely fix there is to add a new
Variable::Kind for this case and handle it appropriately for stores in each
backend, but I leave that for a later patch to make this one completely
subtractive.

This patch moves the semantics of 'const' in sloppy mode to match those
in strict mode, that is, const makes lexical (let-like) bindings, must
have an initializer, and does not create properties of the global object.

Our testing infrastructure uses exceptions to indicate
errors. assertUnreachable therefore throws an exception to indicate
that it was reached. Therefore, it cannot be used to check that an
exception was thrown using the pattern:
try {
shouldThrow();
assertUnreachable();
} catch(e) {
}
Such a test will always pass because assertUnreachable will throw an
exception if shouldThrow does not.

introduced by eval.
In the cases where calls to eval have not introduced any variables, we
do not need to perform a runtime call. Instead, we verify that the
context extension objects have not been created and perform a direct
load.
Not implemented for ARM yet and the scope resolution code could use
some better abstractions. I'd like to do that in a separate
changelist.
