Jakob Gruber 28a9dc2b81 Remove JS natives support, step 1
The natives blob is deprecated and will be removed in the next
release.

This commit does two things, 1. it disables the v8_extra_library_files
gn argument which will make building natives_blob.bin through gn
impossible; 2. it marks API functions associated with the natives blob
as V8_DEPRECATE_SOON.

Embedders should remove any uses of SetNativesDataBlob and replace all
calls to

 InitializeExternalStartupData(const char*, const char*)

with the new function

 InitializeExternalStartupDataFromFile(const char*)

Step 2 is to mark API functions as V8_DEPRECATED.
Step 3, in the next V8 release, is to remove these functions and all
other natives support in V8.

    git pull origin
    gclient sync

For fetching all branches, add the following into your remote configuration in .git/config:

    fetch = +refs/branch-heads/*:refs/remotes/branch-heads/*
    fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
