Jakob Gruber d25088e9ba Reland "[ia32,root] Add indirect calls and jumps through virtual register"
This is a reland of 650703557a

Original change's description:
> [ia32,root] Add indirect calls and jumps through virtual register
>
> This adds a temporary mechanism for isolate-independent calls and
> jumps.  The problem was that - as ia32 doesn't have a scratch register
> - Call and Jump cannot call through a register. This CL adds a
> so-called virtual register (= a pointer-sized field) on IsolateData.
>
> The virtual register can be removed once pc-relative calls are
> implemented and all builtins have been embedded.
>
> Bug: v8:6666
