This commit improves module loading performance by at least ~25-35%
in the module-loader benchmarks.
Some optimization strategies include:
* Try-finally/try-catch isolation
* Replacing regular expressions with manual parsing
* Avoiding unnecessary string and array creation
* Avoiding constant recompilation of anonymous functions and
function definitions within functions

The vm module's displayErrors option attaches error arrow
messages as a hidden property. Later, core JavaScript code
can optionally decorate the error stack with the arrow message.
However, when user code catches an error, it has no way to
access the arrow message. This commit changes the behavior of
displayErrors to mean "decorate the error stack if an error
occurs."

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.

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.
