The bit counting functions provided by CompilerIntrinsics were undefined
for zero, which was easily overlooked and unsafe in general. Also their
implementation was kinda hacky and mostly untested. Fixed the
implementation and moved the functions to base/bits.h.

Use this for detecting MSVCRT library features instead of
V8_CC_MSVC.

One use case for this is when compiling with Clang together with the
MSVC library. In that case, V8_CC_MSVC will be false, but V8_LIBC_MSVCRT
will be true.

Original descriptions were:
- "Refactor and cleanup VirtualMemory."
- "Fix typo."
- "Deuglify V8_INLINE and V8_NOINLINE."
- "Don't align size on allocation granularity for unaligned ReserveRegion calls."

Reasons for the revert are:
- Our mjsunit test suite slower by a factor of 5(!) in release mode.
- Flaky cctest/test-alloc/CodeRange on all architectures and platforms.
- Tankage of Sunspider by about 6% overall (unverified).

Remove a lot of platform duplication, and simplify the virtual
memory implementation. Also improve readability by avoiding bool
parameters for executability (use a dedicated Executability type
instead).

Get rid of the Isolate::UncheckedCurrent() call in the platform
code, as part of the Isolate TLS cleanup.

Use a dedicated random number generator for the address
randomization, instead of messing with the per-isolate random
number generators.

Add V8_GLIBC_PREREQ() macro to test the version of the GNU C library.
Make V8_GNUC_PREREQ() work for compilers that masquerade as GCC (you
can always use V8_CC_* to test for a specific one if you need to).
Add V8_LIBC_* to detect the C library in use.

Make V8_INT64_C() and V8_UINT64_C() available in 32-bit mode as well,
so we can write readable constants (base 10) instead of having to
obfuscate them using V8_2PART_UINT64_C().

This renames the existing V8_ALIGNAS() to V8_ALIGNED(), and introduces
V8_ALIGNAS(type, alignment) which aligns according to the type and falls
back to aligning according to alignment.

Also use __attribute__((aligned(n))) instead of __attribute__((__aligned__(n))).

From now on the v8config.h header should be the one and
only file where we do (freaky) checks to detect OS, C++
compiler or certain compiler features. Since we need that
both internally and for the public API, the new v8config.h
is the proper place to add (everything is prefixed with V8_
so we are safe).
