- Adds the `breakEvalOnSigint` option to `vm.runIn(This)Context`.
This uses a watchdog thread to wait for SIGINT and generally works
just like the existing `timeout` option.
- Adds a method to the existing timer-based watchdog to check if it
stopped regularly or by running into the timeout. This is used to
tell a SIGINT abort from a timer-based one.
- Adds (internal) `process._{start,stop}SigintWatchdog` methods to
start/stop the watchdog thread used by the above option manually.
This will be used in the REPL to set up SIGINT handling before
entering terminal raw mode, so that there is no time window in
which Ctrl+C fully aborts the process.

This commit updates the node.js script name to reflect its
actual name, which is now bootstrap_node.js. This commit also
fixes the requisite message tests, and relocates a comment
which seems to have drifted.

Prevent deoptimization of process.nextTick by removing the try finally
block. This is not necessary as the next tick queue will be reset
anyway, no matter if the callback throws or not.
Use a predefined array size prevents resizing the array and is therefor
faster.

Upgrade the bundled V8 and update code in src/ and lib/ to the new API.
Notable backwards incompatible changes are the removal of the smalloc
module and dropped support for CESU-8 decoding. CESU-8 support can be
brought back if necessary by doing UTF-8 decoding ourselves.
This commit includes https://codereview.chromium.org/1192973004 to fix
a build error on python 2.6 systems. The original commit log follows:
Use optparse in js2c.py for python compatibility
Without this change, V8 won't build on RHEL/CentOS 6 because the
distro python is too old to know about the argparse module.

This commit uses separate functions to isolate deopts caused by
try-catches and avoids fn.apply() for callbacks with small numbers
of arguments.
These changes improve performance by ~1-40% in the various
nextTick benchmarks.

Cache events and listeners objects where possible and loop over
Object.keys() instead of using for..in. These changes alone give
~60-65% improvement in the ee-add-remove benchmark.
The changes to EventEmitter.listenerCount() gives ~14%
improvement and changes to emitter.listeners() gives
significant improvements for <50 listeners
(~195% improvement for 10 listeners).
The changes to emitter.emit() gives 3x speedup for the fast
cases with multiple handlers and a minor speedup for the slow
case with multiple handlers.
The swapping out of the util.is* type checking functions with inline
checks gives another ~5-10% improvement.

Before this commit the EventEmitter methods were anonymous functions.
V8 tries to infer names for anonymous functions based on the execution
context but it frequently gets it wrong and when that happens, the
stack trace is usually confusing and unhelpful. This commit names all
methods so V8 can fall back to the method.name property.
The above gotcha applies to all anonymous functions but is exacerbated
for EventEmitter methods because those are invoked with a plenitude of
different receivers.

Passing a filename is still supported in place of certain options
arguments, for backward-compatibility, but timeout and display-errors
are not translated since those were undocumented.
Also managed to eliminate an extra stack trace line by not calling
through the `createScript` export.
Added a few message tests to show how `displayErrors` works.
As documented in #3042 and in [1], the existing vm implementation has
many problems. All of these are solved by @brianmcd's [contextify][2]
package. This commit uses contextify as a conceptual base and its code
core to overhaul the vm module and fix its many edge cases and caveats.
Functionally, this fixes#3042. In particular:
- A context is now indistinguishable from the object it is based on
(the "sandbox"). A context is simply a sandbox that has been marked
by the vm module, via `vm.createContext`, with special internal
information that allows scripts to be run inside of it.
- Consequently, items added to the context from anywhere are
immediately visible to all code that can access that context, both
inside and outside the virtual machine.
This commit also smooths over the API very slightly:
- Parameter defaults are now uniformly triggered via `undefined`, per
ES6 semantics and previous discussion at [3].
- Several undocumented and problematic features have been removed, e.g.
the conflation of `vm.Script` with `vm` itself, and the fact that
`Script` instances also had all static `vm` methods. The API is now
exactly as documented (although arguably the existence of the
`vm.Script` export is not yet documented, just the `Script` class
itself).
In terms of implementation, this replaces node_script.cc with
node_contextify.cc, which is derived originally from [4] (see [5]) but
has since undergone extensive modifications and iterations to expose
the most useful C++ API and use the coding conventions and utilities of
Node core.
The bindings exposed by `process.binding('contextify')`
(node_contextify.cc) replace those formerly exposed by
`process.binding('evals')` (node_script.cc). They are:
- ContextifyScript(code, [filename]), with methods:
- runInThisContext()
- runInContext(sandbox, [timeout])
- makeContext(sandbox)
From this, the vm.js file builds the entire documented vm module API.
node.js and module.js were modified to use this new native binding, or
the vm module itself where possible. This introduces an extra line or
two into the stack traces of module compilation (and thus into most
stack traces), explaining the changed tests.
The tests were also updated slightly, with all vm-related simple tests
consolidated as test/simple/test-vm-* (some of them were formerly
test/simple/test-script-*). At the same time they switched from
`common.debug` to `console.error` and were updated to use
`assert.throws` instead of rolling their own error-testing methods.
New tests were also added, of course, demonstrating the new
capabilities and fixes.

This reverts commit 0109a9f90a.
Also included: Port all the changes to process._makeCallback into the
C++ version. Immediate nextTick, etc.
This yields a slight boost in several benchmarks. V8 is optimizing and
deoptimizing process._makeCallback repeatedly.
