[turbofan] Utilize the fact that empty string is canonicalized.

Since the empty string is canonical HeapObject now, we can use
this fact to optimize

  - strict equality comparisons with the empty string to a
    simple ReferenceEqual operation, and
  - optimize ToBoolean to avoid instance type checks completely.

Drive-by-fix: Allow InternalizedString for Type::HeapConstant
in the type system. This is safe, since InternalizedStrings
can be compared to other heap constants by reference (except
for non-InternalizedStrings, which are excluded from the
HeapConstant type).

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/*
