When the event loop was blocked in epoll / kqueue or similar, debugger
commands wouldn't be processed. This patch fixes that by adding an
uv_async handle which is triggered when a debugger command is
dispatched. The async handle's callback makes sure that V8 is entered.

When there is an error that is thrown in a nextTick function, which is
then handled by a domain or other process.on('uncaughtException')
handler, if the error handler *also* adds a nextTick and triggers
multiple MakeCallback events (ie, by doing some I/O), then it would
skip over the tickDepth check, resulting in an infinite spin.
Solution: Check the tickDepth at the start of the tick processing, and
preserve it when we are cleaning up in the error case or exiting early
in the re-entry case.
In order to make sure that tick callbacks are *eventually* handled, any
callback triggered by the underlying spinner in libuv will be processed
as if starting from a tick depth of 0.
I disabled the -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections switches in 202df30
because they're horribly buggy with some gcc/binutils combos.
However, it turns out that the dtrace/ustack post-processing tool requires
that V8 is compiled with said switches and was broken because of it.
This commit turns them on again on SunOS systems. Let's hope for the best.
Unconditionally compile V8 with -fno-strict-aliasing on all platforms.
gcc 4.5.2 on sunos generates bad code when -fstrict-aliasing is enabled, which
undoubtedly means that there are more buggy versions of gcc out there.
-fstrict-aliasing does not give a significant performance boost so let's just
disable it.
Fixes#3736.
