Benedikt Meurer 15c31fe461 [turbofan] Add support for huge DataViews.
This introduces Word64 support for the CheckBounds operator, which now
lowers to either CheckedUint32Bounds or CheckedUint64Bounds after the
representation selection. The right hand side of CheckBounds can now
be any positive safe integer on 64-bit architectures, whereas it remains
Unsigned31 for 32-bit architectures. We only use the extended Word64
support when the right hand side is outside the Unsigned31 range, so
for everything except DataViews this means that the performance should
remain the same. The typing rule for the CheckBounds operator was
updated to reflect this new behavior.

The CheckBounds with a right hand side outside the Unsigned31 range will
pass a new Signed64 feedback kind, which is handled with newly introduced
CheckedFloat64ToInt64 and CheckedTaggedToInt64 operators in representation
selection.

The JSCallReducer lowering for DataView getType()/setType() methods was
updated to not smi-check the [[ByteLength]] and [[ByteOffset]] anymore,
but instead just use the raw uintptr_t values and operate on any value
(for 64-bit architectures these fields can hold any positive safe
integer, for 32-bit architectures it's limited to Unsigned31 range as
before). This means that V8 can now handle huge DataViews fully, without
falling off a performance cliff.

This refactoring even gave us some performance improvements, on a simple
micro-benchmark just exercising different DataView accesses we go from

  testDataViewGetUint8: 796 ms.
  testDataViewGetUint16: 997 ms.
  testDataViewGetInt32: 994 ms.
  testDataViewGetFloat64: 997 ms.

to

  testDataViewGetUint8: 895 ms.
  testDataViewGetUint16: 889 ms.
  testDataViewGetInt32: 888 ms.
  testDataViewGetFloat64: 890 ms.

meaning we lost around 10% on the single byte case, but gained 10% across
the board for all the other element sizes.
