Add MSVC ARMASM capability to mksnapshot

When building v8 using MSVC (as for Node.js), clang-cl is not available
to act as an assembler. This change allows mksnapshot to accomodate this
fact by emitting assembly in the MSVC ARM assembler's format.

Incidentally, the MSVC ARM asm format is just the ARM, Holdings assembler's
asm format with a small handful of unimplemented features.

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/*
