Seth Brenith 517ab73fd7 Add postmortem debugging helper library
This change begins to implement the functionality described in
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1evHnb1uLlSbvHAAsmOXyc25x3uh1DjgNa8u1RHvwVhk/edit#
for investigating V8 state in crash dumps.

This change adds a new library, v8_debug_helper, for providing platform-
agnostic assistance with postmortem debugging. This library can be used
by extensions built for debuggers such as WinDbg or lldb. Its public API
is described by debug-helper.h; currently the only method it exposes is
GetObjectProperties, but we'd like to add more functionality over time.
The API surface is restricted to plain C-style structs and pointers, so
that it's easy to link from a debugger extension built with a different
toolchain.

This change also adds a new cctest file to exercise some basic
interaction with the new library.

The API function GetObjectProperties takes an object pointer (which
could be compressed, or weak, or a SMI), and returns a string
description of the object and a list of properties the object contains.
For now, the list of properties is entirely based on Torque object
definitions, but we expect to add custom properties in future updates so
that it can be easier to make sense of complex data structures such as
dictionaries.

GetObjectProperties does several things that are intended to generate
somewhat useful results even in cases where memory may be corrupt or
unavailable:
- The caller may optionally provide a type string which will be used if
  the memory for the object's Map is inaccessible.
- All object pointers are compared against the list of known objects
  generated by mkgrokdump. The caller may optionally provide the
  pointers for the first pages of various heap spaces, to avoid spurious
  matches. If those pointers are not provided, then any matches are
  prefixed with "maybe" in the resulting description string, such as
  "maybe UndefinedValue (0x4288000341 <Oddball>)".
