ahaas 5e05854019 Reland [heap] Avoid the use of cells to point from code to new-space objects.
The reason for reverting is: This breaks gc-stress bot:
https://chromegw.corp.google.com/i/client.v8/builders/V8%20Linux64%20GC%20Stress%20-%20custom%20snapshot

Abortion of compaction could cause duplicate entries in the typed-old-to-new remembered set. These duplicates could cause a DCHECK to trigger which checks that slots recorded in the remembered set never point to to-space. This reland-CL allows duplicates in the remembered set by removing the DCHECK, and additionally clears entries in the remembered set if objects are moved.

Original issue's description:

Cells were needed originally because there was no typed remembered set to
record direct pointers from code space to new space. A previous
CL (https://codereview.chromium.org/2003553002/) already introduced
the remembered set, this CL uses it.

This CL
* stores direct pointers in code objects, even if the target is in new space,
* records the slot of the pointer in typed-old-to-new remembered set,
* adds a list which stores weak code-to-new-space references,
* adds a test to test-heap.cc for weak code-to-new-space references,
* removes prints in tail-call-megatest.js
