Adds a notion of private symbols, mainly intended for internal use, especially, self-hosting of built-in types that would otherwise require new C++ classes.
On the JS side (i.e., in built-ins), private properties can be created and accessed through a set of macros:
NEW_PRIVATE(print_name)
HAS_PRIVATE(obj, sym)
GET_PRIVATE(obj, sym)
SET_PRIVATE(obj, sym, val)
DELETE_PRIVATE(obj, sym)
In the V8 API, they are accessible via a new class Private, and respective HasPrivate/Get/Private/SetPrivate/DeletePrivate methods on calss Object.
These APIs are designed and restricted such that their implementation can later be replaced by whatever ES7+ will officially provide.

This is controlled by two flags:
--redirect_code_traces
--redirect_code_traces_to=<filename>
When redirection is enabled but --redirect_code_traces_to is not specified traces are written to a file code-<pid>-<isolate>.asm. This mangling scheme matches hydrogen.cfg and allows easy discovery of compilation artifacts in a multi-V8 environment (e.g. when compilation is traced from inside Chromium).
D8 defines --redirect_code_traces_to=code.asm similar to hydrogen.cfg redirection.

Things got quite a bit out of sync (don't we all love copy-n-paste?):
* TypeToString didn't handle SLICED_STRING_TYPE,
SLICED_ASCII_STRING_TYPE, FIXED_DOUBLE_ARRAY_TYPE,
JS_FUNCTION_PROXY_TYPE and JS_DATE_TYPE.
* INSTANCE_TYPE_LIST was missing entries for
SLICED_ASCII_STRING_TYPE, JS_SET_TYPE, and JS_MAP_TYPE.
To improve this maintenance nightmare a little bit, the missing
instance types were added to the INSTANCE_TYPE_LIST macro and this
list is now used via our beloved 2nd order macro technique in
TypeToString. As a side-effect, the strings returned by TypeToString
have a "_TYPE" suffix now, but this doesn't really matter and is a
small price to pay for consistency.
Removed INVALID_TYPE on the way, it had no real use.

This is just a rename change with the exception of a bug found along the way in
CodeStubGraphBuilder<FastCloneShallowArrayStub>::BuildCodeStub(). There, the
intent is to get the boilerplate object from an AllocationSite. But the wrong
HObjectAccess was used. It only succeeds because it happened to be the same
offset :).

* 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.

Since symbols and strings share a common representation, most of this change is about consistently replacing 'String' with 'Name' in all places where property names are expected. In particular, no new logic at all is necessary for maps, property dictionaries, or transitions. :) The only places where an actual case distinction is needed have to do with generated type checks, and with conversions of names to strings (especially in logger and profiler).
Left in some TODOs wrt to the API: interceptors and native getters don't accept symbols as property names yet, because that would require extending the external v8.h.

The new instance type 'Symbol' represents ES6 symbols (a.k.a. private/unique names). Currently, symbols are simple data objects that only carry a hash code, random-generated upon allocation.
The new type 'Name' now serves as the common super class for strings and symbols, and is supposed to represent property names. We will eventually migrate APIs from String to Name for the standard key type.
Strings and symbols share the same hash field representation, via the Name class. This way, we should be able to use the same code paths for symbols and internalized strings in most cases. Also, Symbol's instance type code is allocated adjacent to internalized string codes in the enum, allowing a simple range check for the common case.

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).
