Jake Hughes 1a5ef0816b [heap] Add conservative stack scanning
When enabled with the v8_enable_conservative_stack_scanning flag, a
snapshot of the call stack upon entry to GC is used to determine part of
the root-set. When the collector walks the stack, it looks at each value
and determines whether it could be a potential on-heap object pointer.

This is very experimental. For conservative stack scanning to work,
direct handles must be implemented.
