Avoid calling out to JS during stack overflow

If an exception is thrown when there is a Promise being created, the Promise
catch prediction code would call into a part implemented in JavaScript to see if
the Promise has a catch handler. If it is not possible to call back into JS,
e.g., due to a stack overflow, then this would lead to a crash. This patch
"speculates" that, if it's impossible to call back into JavaScript, then the
error is unhandled, avoding the issue. In a future patch, the catch prediction
logic should be entirely written in C++, but this patch adds a minimal fix to
be more friendly to backports.

V8 JavaScript Engine

V8 is Google's open source JavaScript engine.

V8 implements ECMAScript as specified in ECMA-262.

V8 is written in C++ and is used in Google Chrome, the open source browser from Google.

V8 can run standalone, or can be embedded into any C++ application.

V8 Project page: https://github.com/v8/v8/wiki

Getting the Code

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/*
