Contribution of PowerPC port (continuation of 422063005 and 817143002). This patch covers
the key changes needed to the common files needed to support AIX. Subsequent
patches will cover:
- changes to update the ppc directories so they are current with the changes
in the rest of the project.
- remaining AIX changes not resolved by 4.8 compiler
- individual optimizations for PPC

This is based off of the GitHub repository

Also remove the "use default platform" compile flag. Instead, the embedder
has to provide the platform.

Change all binaries to use the default platfrom from libplatform.

Unless --job-based-sweeping is passed, nothing uses the platform yet, so
nothing will break for embedders (yet).

In this patch, we added the JIT code event handler for Vtune. Most of the code is in the
folder src/third_party/vtune. Two APIs are added in include/v8.h to get the requirement info
from V8.

We add the v8_enable_vtunejit parameter for GYP to enable these Vtune code compilation.
vTune::InitilizeVtuneForV8() is invoked in the embedder of V8 to make sure it's invokded if
vtune support is enabled.
