Handlers should be in charge of this work. The change uncovered a bug in
vector-ics related to keyed loads into strings. It's important for
StringCharCodeAtGenerator, a helper used in full code and in
LoadIndexedStringStub (a handler) to protect the vector and slot registers
when it makes a runtime call to convert a HeapNumber to a Smi.

It's still possible for the handler to MISS after this call, perhaps due
to out of bounds access. In that case, the vector and slot registers need
to be delivered safely to the MISS handler.

Encapsulate the helper functions in mjsunit.js.
Now only exposes the exception class and the assertXXX functions.

Make assertEquals use === instead of ==.
This prevents a lot of possiblefalse positives in tests, and avoids
having to do assertTrue(expected === actual) when you need it.

Fixed some tests that were either buggy or assuming == test.

These string methods can be composed from two basic blocks: charCodeAt
and fromCharCode, both of which have fast cases for certain types of
inputs. In this patch these two blocks are refactored to allow
generating the fast cases without having to jump around the slow
cases. In the slow cases since they can now be invoked both from
inline runtime functions and from IC stubs we either have to
save/restore state of the current frame or enter/leave a new internal
frame. This is handled by new RuntimeCallHelper interface. Its
implementation for virtual frame is based on FrameRegisterState class
extracted from DeferredCode class.

(Fixed handling of out-of-bounds keys.)

String keyed load used to call STRING_CHAR_AT builtin that performs
two steps (get a char code, construct a one-char string from the
code), both of which have fast cases implemented as inline runtime
functions. In this chage most of the code from these functions is
extracted to a set of common generator functions in StringStubBase and
the fast cases are grouped together in the IC code.

In the shell sample don't print the result of executing a script, only
evaluating expressions.

Fixed issue when building samples on Windows using a shared V8
library.  Added visibility option on Linux build which makes the
generated library 18% smaller.

Changed build system to accept multiple build modes in one build and
generate seperate objects, libraries and executables for each mode.

Removed deferred negation optimization (a * -b => -(a * b)) since this
visibly changes operand conversion order.

Improved parsing performance by introducing stack guard in preparsing.
Without a stack guard preparsing always bails out with stack overflow.
