Samuel Groß 18c37d3258 Add PageInitializationMode enum for the BoundedPageAllocator
Currently, when compiling with V8_VIRTUAL_MEMORY_CAGE enabled, the
behavior of the BoundedPageAllocator changes from simply making freed
pages inaccessible to decommitting them, which guarantees that they will
be zero-initialized after the next allocation. As this seems to cause
some performance regressions on Mac, this CL introduces a new enum that
specifies how the allocator should behave:
kAllocatedPagesMustBeZeroInitialized causes the pages to be decommitted
during FreePages() and ReleasePages() and thus guarantees
zero-initialization during AllocPages().
kAllocatedPagesCanBeUninitialized only causes the pages to be made
inaccessible, and so does not generally guarantee zero-initialization
for AllocPages().

Finally, this CL also removes some dead code in allocation.cc.
