[V8] Implement SIMD Boolean vector types to allow mask registers.
- Adds new machine types SimdBool4/8/16 for the different boolean vector types.
- Adds a kSimdMaskRegisters flag for each platform. These are all false for now.
- Removes Create, ExtractLane, ReplaceLane, Equal, NotEqual, Swizzle and Shuffle
  opcodes from the Boolean types. These are unlikely to be well supported natively,
  and can be synthesized using Select.
- Changes the signature of Relational opcodes to return boolean vectors.
- Changes the signature of Select opcodes to take boolean vectors.
- Updates the ARM implementation of Relational and Select opcodes.

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/*
