Jakob Linke c505f9b37c Clarify how entry frames link the to the next exit frame
Entry frames use a dedicated (and nonstandard) slot to link to the
next exit frame's frame pointer. This slot is initialized using the
Isolate's `c_entry_fp_` field (1. we can't use rbp since it may
contain arbitrary values with -fomit-frame-pointer, and 2. V8 stack
walks skip over all C++ frames between exit- and entry frames).

This CL clarifies all this by:

- renaming EntryFrameConstants::kCallerFPOffset to
  kNextExitFrameFPOffset to avoid confusion with the
  StandardFrame::kCallerFPOffset constant.
- extending comments in JSEntry codegen.
- adding a static_assert as a link between the constant and related
  code.
