Use V8 Code caching when host_arch == target_arch. This commit may
slightly improve startup time, and definitely improves require times
(when doing many of them).

For example, executing following file:

var fs = require('fs');
var http = require('http');
var https = require('https');
var path = require('path');
var util = require('util');

Takes: ~74ms on master
Takes: ~54ms with this commit

Number were taken on OS X with 64-bit node.js binaries.

would we consider shipping the binary for this, with a more node-specific name than js2c-cache?

We don't need to ship this anywhere, it is run during build time.

Looking at the definition of NativeModule.wrap 12 lines up - how is cached_data being used?

@indutny so you figure that if anyone wants to make use of this kind of functionality outside of lib/*.js, like NW.js, they'll be using source and hacking Node a bit anyway?

@rvagg I haven't thought about it that far yet, and so far I'm not sure if it provides any significant speed boost after all. Need to finish it up to do benchmarks.

Alright, I think the PR is ready now. Let's see what CI (especially ARM bots) think about it: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-pull-request/1314/

@rvagg regarding NW.js, there is a cached_data option for vm.ContextifyContext, so I guess they could try using it and obtaining this data through the js2c-cache.

Data point, when I experimented with the preparser API a while ago (what corresponds to kProduceParserCache now) I saw no change in start-up times whatsoever.

Vyacheslav later told me it only makes a difference when the source code is 100s or 1000s of kilobytes big. Ours is in the low 100s but it's not loaded all at once.

@bnoordhuis it seems that my small require benchmark disagrees with you...

@bnoordhuis also, it is not exactly preparser thing. It is caching compiled code, not parser data.

Yes, I get that. I'm curious to see if it makes a real difference. Full-codegen is pretty quick but maybe not on ARM.

Everywhere else nullptr is used. Is it okay to use NULL here?

Looks like this js2c-cache does not compile on windows. Going to skip it for now, and iterate towards it sometime later (if I'll have any incentive).

Sorry for the ignorance, but can this impact the speed of userlandrequire`s? Those can be a big problem in larger projects and if it's possible giving users the ability to cache if NODE_ENV is production would be a huge help.

@benjamingr possibly no, fs overhead is very likely to be bigger than compilation overhead, but this PR opens new APIs for using code cache in ChildProcess.

Perhaps use subprocess.Communicate to simplify? (written without testing)

@hashseed Sound crazy, Do you mean use v8 as the vm platform for any language that can compile to this "reverse engineered byte code"? A bit of the overlapping to wasm, but I believe js bytecode has more feature than low level wasm
