MIPS: This is a preview of a first step towards unification of the hydrogen call machinery.

Port r18626 (d3368a4c)

Original commit message:
The change replaces CallNamed, CallKeyed, CallConstantFunction and CallKnownGlobal hydrogen instructions with two new instructions with a more lower level semantics:

1. CallJSFunction for direct calls of JSFunction objects (no
   argument adaptation)

2. CallWithDescriptor for calls of a given Code object according to
   the supplied calling convention.

Details:

CallJSFunction should be straightforward, the main difference from the
existing InvokeFunction instruction is the absence of argument adaptor
handling. (As a next step, we will replace InvokeFunction with an
equivalent hydrogen code.)

For CallWithDescriptor, the calling conventions are represented by a
tweaked version of CallStubInterfaceDescriptor. In addition to the
parameter-register mapping, we also define parameter-representation
mapping there. The CallWithDescriptor instruction has variable number of
parameters now - this required some simple tweaks in Lithium, which
assumed fixed number of arguments in some places.

The calling conventions used in the calls are initialized in the
CallDescriptors class (code-stubs.h, <arch>/code-stubs-<arch>.cc), and
they live in a new table in the Isolate class. I should say I am not
quite sure about Representation::Integer32() representation for some of
the params of ArgumentAdaptorCall - it is not clear to me wether the
params could not end up on the stack and thus confuse the GC.

The change also includes an earlier small change to argument adaptor
(https://codereview.chromium.org/98463007) that avoids passing a naked
pointer to the code entry as a parameter. I am sorry for packaging that
with an already biggish change.

Performance implications:

Locally, I see a small regression (.2% or so). It is hard to say where
exactly it comes from, but I do see inefficient call sequences to the
adaptor trampoline. For example:

;;; <@78,#24> constant-t
bf85aa515a     mov edi,0x5a51aa85          ;; debug: position 29
;;; <@72,#53> load-named-field
8b7717         mov esi,[edi+0x17]          ;; debug: position 195
;;; <@80,#51> constant-s
b902000000     mov ecx,0x2                 ;; debug: position 195
;;; <@81,#51> gap
894df0         mov [ebp+0xf0],ecx
;;; <@82,#103> constant-i
bb01000000     mov ebx,0x1
;;; <@84,#102> constant-i
b902000000     mov ecx,0x2
;;; <@85,#102> gap
89d8           mov eax,ebx
89cb           mov ebx,ecx
8b4df0         mov ecx,[ebp+0xf0]
;;; <@86,#58> call-with-descriptor
e8ef57fcff     call ArgumentsAdaptorTrampoline  (0x2d80e6e0)    ;; code: BUILTIN

Note the silly handling of ecx; the hydrogen for this code is:

PTAL.

LGTM, with a nit: MacroAssembler::InvokePrologue() should have the comment about
register a3 register state removed, as it is in arm port. For mips this is at
line 3594. just fix it in submit, no need for 2nd patch set.

Committed patchset #1 manually as r18630 (presubmit successful).

Thanks! I overlooked it somehow..
