bmeurer cb9b801069 [builtins] Make Math.max and Math.min fast by default.
The previous versions of Math.max and Math.min made it difficult to
optimize those (that's why we already have custom code in Crankshaft),
and due to lack of ideas what to do about the variable number of
arguments, we will probably need to stick in special code in TurboFan
as well; so inlining those builtins is off the table, hence there's no
real advantage in having them around as "not quite JS" with extra work
necessary in the optimizing compilers to still make those builtins
somewhat fast in cases where we cannot inline them (also there's a
tricky deopt loop in Crankshaft related to Math.min and Math.max, but
that will be dealt with later).

So to sum up: Instead of trying to make Math.max and Math.min semi-fast
in the optimizing compilers with weird work-arounds support %_Arguments
%_ArgumentsLength, we do provide the optimal code as native builtins
instead and call it a day (which gives a nice performance boost on some
benchmarks).

Checkout depot tools, and run

    fetch v8

This will checkout V8 into the directory v8 and fetch all of its dependencies. To stay up to date, run

    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/*
