[torque]: Class declarations

Class declarations support structured heap data that is a subtype of
HeapObject. Only fields of Object subtypes (both strong and weak)
are currently supported (no scalar fields yet).

With this CL, both the field list macro used with the C++
DEFINE_FIELD_OFFSET_CONSTANTS macro (to make field offset constants) as
well as the Torque "operator '.field'" macros are generated for the
classes declared in Torque. This is a first step to removing the
substantial amount of duplication and boilerplate code
needed to declare heap object classes.

As a proof of concept, and handful of class field definitions,
including those for non trivial classes like JSFunction, have been
moved to Torque.

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/*
