Seth Brenith 1c90992ffc Merge with cached Script after streaming compilation
Currently, if a script is compiled on the main thread or deserialized on
any thread, and a matching Script object is found in the Isolate
compilation cache, the new content is merged into the existing Script.
This CL implements the same merging for scripts which were compiled by a
background task. I expect speed changes to be minimal, because merging
is only needed in a small minority of compilations. When needed, it
usually takes about 10% as long as the deserialization of the script,
which in turn is faster than compilation from source text.

This CL also removes some code which I added in preparation for merging
on a background thread in this case. Upon further discussion, we've
determined that the extra round trip to a background thread when the
main thread is likely just waiting for completion would do more harm
than good, and performing the compilation cache lookup from the
background thread would be quite cumbersome.
