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).

Modules now have their own local scope, represented by their own context.
Module instance objects have an accessor for every export that forwards
access to the respective slot from the module's context. (Exports that are
modules themselves, however, are simple data properties.)
All modules have a _hosting_ scope/context, which (currently) is the
(innermost) enclosing global scope. To deal with recursion, nested modules
are hosted by the same scope as global ones.
For every (global or nested) module literal, the hosting context has an
internal slot that points directly to the respective module context. This
enables quick access to (statically resolved) module members by 2-dimensional
access through the hosting context. For example,
module A {
let x;
module B { let y; }
}
module C { let z; }
allocates contexts as follows:
[header| .A | .B | .C | A | C ] (global)
| | |
| | +-- [header| z ] (module)
| |
| +------- [header| y ] (module)
|
+------------ [header| x | B ] (module)
Here, .A, .B, .C are the internal slots pointing to the hosted module
contexts, whereas A, B, C hold the actual instance objects (note that every
module context also points to the respective instance object through its
extension slot in the header).
To deal with arbitrary recursion and aliases between modules,
they are created and initialized in several stages. Each stage applies to
all modules in the hosting global scope, including nested ones.
1. Allocate: for each module _literal_, allocate the module contexts and
respective instance object and wire them up. This happens in the
PushModuleContext runtime function, as generated by AllocateModules
(invoked by VisitDeclarations in the hosting scope).
2. Bind: for each module _declaration_ (i.e. literals as well as aliases),
assign the respective instance object to respective local variables. This
happens in VisitModuleDeclaration, and uses the instance objects created
in the previous stage.
For each module _literal_, this phase also constructs a module descriptor
for the next stage. This happens in VisitModuleLiteral.
3. Populate: invoke the DeclareModules runtime function to populate each
_instance_ object with accessors for it exports. This is generated by
DeclareModules (invoked by VisitDeclarations in the hosting scope again),
and uses the descriptors generated in the previous stage.
4. Initialize: execute the module bodies (and other code) in sequence. This
happens by the separate statements generated for module bodies. To reenter
the module scopes properly, the parser inserted ModuleStatements.

Currently only simple getter calls are handled (i.e. no calls in count
operations or compound assignments), and deoptimization in the getter is not
handled at all. Because of the latter, we temporarily hide this feature behind a
new flag --inline-accessors, which is false by default.

Specifically:
- In parser, check that all exports are defined.
- Move JSModule allocation from parser to scope resolution.
- Move JSModule linking from full codegen to scope resolution.
- Implement module accessors for exported value members.
- Allocate module contexts statically along with JSModules
(to allow static linking), but chain them when module literal is evaluated.
- Make module contexts' extension slot refer to resp. JSModule
(makes modules' ScopeInfo accessible from context).
- Some other tweaks to context handling in general.
- Make any code containing module literals (and thus embedding
static references to JSModules) non-cacheable.
This enables accessing module instance objects as expected.
Import declarations are a separate feature and do not work yet.

The CompilationInfo record now saves a Zone, and the compiler pipeline
allocates memory from the Zone in the CompilationInfo. Before
compiling a function, we create a Zone on the stack and save a pointer
to that Zone to the CompilationInfo; which then gets picked up and
allocated from.

This changes the compiler to be more aggressive about lazy compilation
of closures with non-trivial outer context. Compilation can only be
triggered with a valid outer context now. One exception is the debugger,
which can request compilation of arbitrary shared code, but it ensures
to trigger compilation only at points where no context is needed.
This relands r11782, r11783, r11790 and a minor fix.

Constructs the (generally cyclic) graph of module instance objects
and populates their exports. Any exports other than nested modules
are currently set to 'undefined' (but already present as properties).
Details:
- Added new type JSModule for instance objects: a JSObject carrying a context.
- Statically allocate instance objects for all module literals (in parser 8-}).
- Extend interfaces to record and unify concrete instance objects,
and to support iteration over members.
- Introduce new runtime function for pushing module contexts.
- Generate code for allocating, initializing, and setting module contexts,
and for populating instance objects from module literals.
Currently, all non-module exports are still initialized with 'undefined'.
- Module aliases are resolved statically, so no special code is required.
- Make sure that code containing module constructs is never optimized
(macrofy AST node construction flag setting while we're at it).
- Add test case checking linkage.

To do this, we collect all accessor properties in a first pass and emit code for
defining those properties afterwards in a second pass.
As a finger exercise, the table used for collecting accessors has a (subset of
an) STL-like iterator interface, including STL-like names and operators.
Although C++ is quite verbose here (as usual, but partly this is caused by our
current slightly clumsy classes/templates), things work out quite nicely and it
cleans up some confusion, e.g. a table entry is not an iterator etc.
Everything compiles into very efficient code, e.g. the loop condition 'it !=
accessor_table.end()' compiles into a single 'testl' instruction on ia32.
+1 for using standard APIs!

This is a preparatory step for using the HashMap clas with Literal keys in the
full code generator. It removes some duplicated code already and removes the
need for 2 HashMaps at each use, which was overly complicated.
Removed one dead function on the way.

All module expressions, and all variables that might refer to modules,
are assigned interfaces (module types) that are resolved using
unification. This is necessary to deal with the highly recursive
nature of ES6 modules, which does not allow any kind of bottom-up
strategy for resolving module names and paths.
Error messages are rudimental right now. Probably need to track
more information to make them nicer.

Only JSObject enumerables with enum cache (fast case properties, no interceptors, no enumerable properties on the prototype) are supported.
HLoadKeyedGeneric with keys produced by for-in enumeration are recognized and rewritten into direct property load by index. For this enum-cache was extended to store property indices in a separate array (see handles.cc).
New hydrogen instructions:
- HForInPrepareMap: checks for-in fast case preconditions and returns map that contains enum-cache;
- HForInCacheArray: extracts enum-cache array from the map;
- HCheckMapValue: map check with HValue map instead of immediate;
- HLoadFieldByIndex: load fast property by it's index, positive indexes denote in-object properties, negative - out of object properties;
Changed hydrogen instructions:
- HLoadKeyedFastElement: added hole check suppression for loads from internal FixedArrays that are knows to have no holes inside.

This change enables optimization of top-level and eval-code. For this to work, it adds
support for declaring global variables in optimized code.
At the same time it disables the eager generation of deoptimization support data
in the full code generator (originally introduced in
r10040). This speeds up initial compilation and saves
memory for functions that won't be optimized. It requires
recompiling the function with deoptimization
support when we decide to optimize it.
