    Reland "Add postmortem debugging helper library" · 0921e8f2
    Seth Brenith authored
    This is a reland of 517ab73f
    
    Updates since original: now compressed pointers passed to the function
    GetObjectProperties are required to be sign-extended. Previously, the
    function allowed zero-extended values, but that led to ambiguity on
    pointers like 0x88044919: is it compressed or is the heap range actually
    centered on 0x100000000?
    
    Original change's description:
    > Add postmortem debugging helper library
    >
    > This change begins to implement the functionality described in
    > https://docs.google.com/document/d/1evHnb1uLlSbvHAAsmOXyc25x3uh1DjgNa8u1RHvwVhk/edit#
    > for investigating V8 state in crash dumps.
    >
    > This change adds a new library, v8_debug_helper, for providing platform-
    > agnostic assistance with postmortem debugging. This library can be used
    > by extensions built for debuggers such as WinDbg or lldb. Its public API
    > is described by debug-helper.h; currently the only method it exposes is
    > GetObjectProperties, but we'd like to add more functionality over time.
    > The API surface is restricted to plain C-style structs and pointers, so
    > that it's easy to link from a debugger extension built with a different
    > toolchain.
    >
    > This change also adds a new cctest file to exercise some basic
    > interaction with the new library.
    >
    > The API function GetObjectProperties takes an object pointer (which
    > could be compressed, or weak, or a SMI), and returns a string
    > description of the object and a list of properties the object contains.
    > For now, the list of properties is entirely based on Torque object
    > definitions, but we expect to add custom properties in future updates so
    > that it can be easier to make sense of complex data structures such as
    > dictionaries.
    >
    > GetObjectProperties does several things that are intended to generate
    > somewhat useful results even in cases where memory may be corrupt or
    > unavailable:
    > - The caller may optionally provide a type string which will be used if
    >   the memory for the object's Map is inaccessible.
    > - All object pointers are compared against the list of known objects
    >   generated by mkgrokdump. The caller may optionally provide the
    >   pointers for the first pages of various heap spaces, to avoid spurious
    >   matches. If those pointers are not provided, then any matches are
    >   prefixed with "maybe" in the resulting description string, such as
    >   "maybe UndefinedValue (0x4288000341 <Oddball>)".
