[Interpreter] Initial generate-bytecode-expectations implementation.

generate-bytecode-expectations is a tool intended to work together
with test/cctest/test-bytecode-generator.cc in order to produce a
meaningful diff between testcases and the actual bytecode being emitted.

It does so by parsing and compiling Javascript to bytecode,
constructing the same data structure in the testcase and then running a
textual diff between the expected (i.e. the one encoded in the unit test)
and actual (i.e. the one built from the compiler output) representation.

This commit is a first step in this direction, achieving just the first
half of what we desire. At the moment, bytecodechecker can:

* take a code snippet from the command line and emit the expected structure.
* adhere to the same formatting rules of the test cases
  (this one is important for text diff and for copy and pasting too)

Still to do:

* parse unit tests:
    + extract code snippets
    + indent the code to match the input test case
    + allow flexibility in the input format
    + try to recognize and work around some macro magic (i.e. REPEAT_127)
* emit the representation of the constant pool and handlers vector
* run a textual diff

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.

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/*
