Of note is the change to static linking on *nix (MacOS already used it).
The logic is that we can only use one single version of SM, so that
advantage of dynamic linking is lost regardless. We might also see
performance gains in the future with LTO enabled. It is also slightly
easier to distribute the program as a result. Expect a negligible size
increase in the binary size (offset somewhat by no longer needing to
distribute .so files). Finally, it streamlines the build script.
Also noteworthy in this commit:
- The MacOS build script is folded back into the general build script.
- the perl/sed command is replaced by patching the configuration file,
which at least warns if it starts failing in the future.

The bulk of the patching was also done by @Itms.

Differential Revision: https://code.wildfiregames.com/D3094
This was SVN commit r24202.
This upgrade also introduces exact stack rooting (see to the wiki:
JSRootingGuide) and fixes problems with moving GC. This allows us to
enable generational garbage collection (GGC).
Measurements a few months ago have shown a performance improvement of a
non-visual replay of around 13.5%. This probably varies quite a bit, but
it should be somewhere between 5-20%. Memory usage has also been
improved. Check the forum thread for details.
Thanks to everyone from the team who helped with this directly or
indirectly (review, finding and fixing issues, the required C++11
upgrade, the new autobuilder etc.)! Also thanks to the SpiderMonkey
developers who helped on the #jsapi channel or elsewhere!

This commit contains all the required changes to our source files and
build scripts (hopefully).
A next commit will remove the old stuff of SpiderMonkey 1.8.5.
Spcial thanks to:
- H4writer who helped a lot mainly with the performance issues we
had/have, but also with other problems or questions.
- Leper for the review.
- Historic_bruno for implementing the build scripts on Mac OS X and
testing on the Mac.
- The people from the #jsapi channel and from
mozilla.dev.tech.js-engine who answered a lot of questions and helped
solving problems.
