Always use CpuFeaturesImpliedByCompiler() when selecting CPU features. This checks both for CAN_USE_ARMV7_INSTRUCTIONS and CAN_USE_VFP_INSTRUCTIONS and for GCC preprocessor symbols. This will support using the CAN_USE_XXX for a simulator build used for generating a snapshot followed by a crosscompile using -march= and -mfpu= for selecting the (minimal) target device CPU features. The snapshot will use instructions based on the CAN_USE_XXX whereas the target will at least use features based on both CAN_USE_XXX and -march= and -mfpu=, but will try runtime CPU feature detection a well looking for somethis better.
Remove the compiler based CPU feature detection from the OS::CpuFeaturesImpliedByPlatform() as it did not belong there. Also was already in the CpuFeaturesImpliedByCompiler().
Add the variable 'v8_can_use_vfp_instructions' to the GYP file which can be used to turn on CAN_USE_VFP_INSTRUCTIONS when building V8. I did not add any -mfpu= cflags for this, as there are several options here (e.g. vfp and neon).

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.)

This is for mobile platforms where application footprint size is
important. To avoid including compression libraries into V8, we assume
that the host machine have them (true for Linux), and rely on embedder
to provide decompressed data.
Currently, only snapshot data can be comressed. It is also possible to
compress libraries sources, but it is more involved and will be
addressed in another CL.

Add option armeabi to the SCons build for selecting the floating point variant to use. Also add externally defined CCFLAGS environment for all targets. Run test.py with option -S armeabi=hardfloat to test with hardfloat enabled.
Make selecting hardfloat EABI variant a build-time option instead of a runtime option.
Add a simple check of the EABI variant during V8 initialization to exit if the compilation was not configured correctly. The reason for this is that GCC does not provide a compile time symbol defining the EABI variant. This check is not fool-proof as it cannot check the compilation configuration used for the snapshot if any.

Crankshaft is now the default on all platforms. This is the first
patch on the way to removing the classic code generator from the
system.
This time with no removal of the crankshaft flag. --nocrankshaft is
not at all the same as --always-full-compiler which I had used instead
for testing. That was what caused timeouts on the buildbots because of
repeated attempts to optimize hot functions. It makes sense to keep
the crankshaft flag in case you want to run only with the full
compiler and with no adaptive compilation.

The test suite builds the preparser test program and runs it on each .js file in
the test/preparser directory.
Currently it only checks that preparsing runs without crashing or erroring.
This also implicitly tests that the preparser library can be built.

This patch adds common infrastructure for fast TLS support and
implementation on win32. More implementations will be added soon.
Fast TLS is controlled by V8_FAST_TLS define which is enabled by
default in our gyp and scons builds. The scons build has
fasttls={on,off} option so that we can see the effects of slow TLS
when needed.

Fix the shell to not use functions from the v8::internal namespace when building with V8 in a shared library.
Remove the v8_preparser library. The dependencies for this target needs to be resolved after isolates have landed.

Because we run all tests three times with different variant flags (to
test crankshaft) we might end up in a situation where we try to write
to the same serilization file from two different threads
simultaneously. The patch concats the variant flags at the end of the
serialization file name.
