Adding a dependency on code.google.com/p/v8-i18n library.

Adding a dependency on code.google.com/p/v8-i18n library.

We've moved our i18n library from v8/src/extensions/experimental to a separate
code.google.com project. Some files were renamed, and gyp file was cleaned up.

We will update webkit tree once this DEPS change propagates to chromium port of WebKit.

Pros:
- Faster development cycle
- Makes easier for v8 team to handle merges and rolls to chromium
- Library uses only public v8 API so we don't expect breakages

Cons:
- Library is not so visible now that's outside of v8 tree

Short update on our status:

2 weeks ago we had a meeting with Microsoft, Amazon and Yahoo and we will have a
follow up meeting next week where we hope to iron out all the differences and
produce standard draft document.

There are some changes to the current API, biggest one is removal of Locale
class - but the basic functions we proposed stay as they are.

We will have to change our implementation to meet the new spec, so we feel it
would be best if we did it in our own playground instead of stressing out v8
team (that's in process of transition).

LGTM.

Can you describe all 4 steps (including the final removal of i18n stuff from the
v8 tree)  in the change log for the future reference/record ?

1. Add DEPS to v8-i18n library to Chromium (this CL).
2. Wait till propagates to Chromium port of WebKit.
3. Update WebKit code to point to the new gyp file, and fix code in
V8DOMWindowShell (include path and class name).
4. Wait for WebKit roll to Chromium to get the new code.
5. Remove i18n code from v8 repository.

I've added Darin and Mads to the project as commiters so they can comment/review
issues (I am not sure if it's necessary).
