deps: upgrade v8 to 4.1.0.21

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/bnoordhuis/upgrade-v8 into v1.x

R=@indutny, /cc @iojs/tc

This upgrade is an interesting conundrum. There is an incompatible ABI (but not API) change in here that would require bumping NODE_MODULE_VERSION and NODE_MINOR_VERSION.

However, skipping the upgrade is probably a bad idea because it also contains a fix for https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=430201, which annoyingly is still under embargo but looks like it's a use-after-free and may be exploitable.

As a proposed fix, I backed out the ABI change. WDYT?
