There were 2 issues which either the v8 team was reluctant to
backport the fix because the fix was for a disabled feature (wasm) or
that we did not have time to investigate before 5.0 was cut
which result in v8 test failures for PPC in 5.0. These are test
issues and are already resolved in v8 master. This PR
excludes these tests so that our v8 tests in the CI will
be green so that we can detect any real regressions.

Upgrade the bundled V8 and update code in src/ and lib/ to the new API.
Notable backwards incompatible changes are the removal of the smalloc
module and dropped support for CESU-8 decoding. CESU-8 support can be
brought back if necessary by doing UTF-8 decoding ourselves.
This commit includes https://codereview.chromium.org/1192973004 to fix
a build error on python 2.6 systems. The original commit log follows:
Use optparse in js2c.py for python compatibility
Without this change, V8 won't build on RHEL/CentOS 6 because the
distro python is too old to know about the argparse module.

* @indutny's SealHandleScope patch (484bebc38319fc7c622478037922ad73b2edcbf9)
has been cherry picked onto the top of V8 to make it compile.
* There's some test breakage in contextify.
* This was merged at the request of the TC.

This commit applies some secondary changes in order to make `make test`
pass cleanly:
* disable broken postmortem debugging in common.gypi
* drop obsolete strict mode test in parallel/test-repl
* drop obsolete test parallel/test-v8-features

Original commit message:
api: introduce SealHandleScope
When debugging Handle leaks in io.js we found it very convenient to be
able to Seal some specific (root in our case) scope to prevent Handle
allocations in it, and easily find leakage.

Cr-Commit-Position: refs/heads/master@{#27766}
Should help us identify and fix Handle leaks in core and user-space code.
NOTE: Works only in Debug build now, but is still better than nothing.

This commit removes the simple/test-event-emitter-memory-leak test for
being unreliable with the new garbage collector: the memory pressure
exerted by the test case is too low for the garbage collector to kick
in. It can be made to work again by limiting the heap size with the
--max_old_space_size=x flag but that won't be very reliable across
platforms and architectures.
This reverts commit 92f5a5d3ca.
V8 3.7.1 in debug mode on ia32 has a curious race-like bug where an fs.Stats
object is not fully formed until some time after it's created. This is easy
to demonstrate by running `make test-debug`.
V8 3.7.0 does not exhibit this behaviour so back we go.
Fixes#1981.
