Sloppy-mode function declarations in blocks are now hoisted appropriately.

In ES2016, function declarations nested in blocks are formally allowed. This was
never a part of ECMAScript, but was a common extension. Unfortunately
implementations differed in the exact semantics. Annex B.3.3 in the spec tries
to standardize the parts which are common to different implementations, but does
so with some fairly complicated semantics.

This CL addresses three issues related to annex B.3.3:
* When the outer function had a complex parameter list, no hoisting whatsoever was
  being performed.
* Hoisting was not blocked by parameters of the same name.
* Hoisting was not blocked by nested lexical declarations of the same name.

We had tests which checked for the second, but they were incorrectly passing due to
the first. This CL adds more complete tests.

V8 JavaScript Engine

V8 is Google's open source JavaScript engine.

V8 implements ECMAScript as specified in ECMA-262.

V8 is written in C++ and is used in Google Chrome, the open source browser from Google.

V8 can run standalone, or can be embedded into any C++ application.

V8 Project page: https://github.com/v8/v8/wiki

Getting the Code

Checkout depot tools, and run

    fetch v8

This will checkout V8 into the directory v8 and fetch all of its dependencies. To stay up to date, run

    git pull origin
    gclient sync

For fetching all branches, add the following into your remote configuration in .git/config:

    fetch = +refs/branch-heads/*:refs/remotes/branch-heads/*
    fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
