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

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.
