instead of weak handles. This improves garbage collection
performance and uses less memory.
Changed code generation for object and array literals in toplevel
code to be more compact by doing more work in the runtime.
Fixed a crash bug triggered when garbage collection happened during
generation of a callback load inline cache stub.

callbacks registered through the API.
Added commands to the debugger protocol for starting/stopping
profiling.
Enabled the non-optimizing compiler for top-level code.

X64: Convert smis to holding 32 bits of payload.
Introduce v8::Integer::NewFromUnsigned method.
Add missing null check in Context::GetCurrent.
Add trim, trimLeft and trimRight methods to String
Patch by Jan de Mooij <[email protected]>
