v8: forward compatibility to current V8 master

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/addaleax/v8-5.8-6.0-forward-compat into v8.x-staging

As discussed in https://github.com/nodejs/CTC/issues/99, we are aiming for a upgrade to V8 6.0 in the Node 8.x lifecycle. Therefore, it makes sense to apply changes that are semver-major because they break the API or ABI before that upgrade actually happens.

Changes that are marked deps: are cherry-picks, the rest is manual work and needs review.

This is a bit WIP because I’m still compiling to see if everything works out. ;)
