[ic] Add OOB support to KeyedLoadIC.

This adds support to the KeyedLoadIC to ignore out of bounds accesses
for Strings and return undefined instead. We add a dedicated bit to the
Smi handler to encode the OOB state and have TurboFan generate appropriate
code for that case as well. This is mostly useful when programs
accidentially access past the length of a string, which was observed and
fixed for example in Babel recently, see

  https://github.com/babel/babel/pull/6589

for details. The idea is to also extend this mechanism to Arrays and
maybe other receivers, as reading beyond the length is also often used
in jQuery and other popular libraries.

Note that this is considered a mitigation for a performance cliff and
not a general optimization of OOB accesses. These should still be
avoided and handled properly instead.

This seems to further improve the babel test on the web-tooling-benchmark
by around 1%, because the OOB access no longer turns the otherwise
MONOMORPHIC access into MEGAMORPHIC state.

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/*
