Original commit message:
[turbofan] Boost performance of Array.prototype.shift by 4x.
For small arrays, it's way faster to just move the elements instead of
doing the fairly complex and heavy-weight left-trimming. Crankshaft has
had this optimization for small arrays already; this CL more or less
ports this functionality to TurboFan, which yields a 4x speed-up when
using shift on small arrays (with up to 16 elements).
This should recover some of the regressions reported in the Node.js issues
https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/12657
and discovered for the syncthrough module using
https://github.com/mcollina/syncthrough/blob/master/benchmarks/basic.js
as benchmark.
