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.

* @indutny's SealHandleScope patch (484bebc38319fc7c622478037922ad73b2edcbf9)
has been cherry picked onto the top of V8 to make it compile.
* There's some test breakage in contextify.
* This was merged at the request of the TC.

This commit applies some secondary changes in order to make `make test`
pass cleanly:
* disable broken postmortem debugging in common.gypi
* drop obsolete strict mode test in parallel/test-repl
* drop obsolete test parallel/test-v8-features

This commit removes the simple/test-event-emitter-memory-leak test for
being unreliable with the new garbage collector: the memory pressure
exerted by the test case is too low for the garbage collector to kick
in. It can be made to work again by limiting the heap size with the
--max_old_space_size=x flag but that won't be very reliable across
platforms and architectures.
After the upgrade from 3.20.17.7 to 3.20.17.11, we've begun hitting
random assertions in V8 in memory-constrained / GC-heavy situations.
The assertions all seem to be related to heap allocations and garbage
collection but apart from that, they're all over the place.
This reverts commit 970bdccc38.
There are serious performance regressions both in V8 and our own legacy
networking stack. Until we correct our own problems we are going back to the
old V8.
