Add support for Embedded Constant Pools for PPC and Arm

Embed constant pools within their corresponding Code
objects.

This removes support for out-of-line constant pools in favor
of the new approach -- the main advantage being that it
eliminates the need to allocate and manage separate constant
pool array objects.

Currently supported on PPC and ARM.  Enabled by default on
PPC only.

This yields a 6% improvment in Octane on PPC64.

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://code.google.com/p/v8/

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/*
