        Currently the SunSpider test driver lacks an option to run a test suite that
        will test JavaScriptCore parsing performance only.  This patch adds just such
        a test suite and option to SunSpider as well as the jsc test shell.  I've included
        three large javascript source files found in the wild: jquery, mootools and prototype.
        Combined with the concatenation of all three, these form a new testsuite to measure
        and test pure JavaScriptCore parsing performance.

        * resources/sunspider-standalone-driver.js:
          Load the js with parse-only flag if it is part of the parse-only suite.
        * sunspider:
          Add the parse-only suite to the list of options.
        * sunspider-compare-results:
          Add the parse-only suite to the list of options.
        * tests/LIST-PARSE-ONLY: Added.
        * tests/parse-only/concat-jquery-mootools-prototype.js: Added.
          A very large concatenation of the scripts found below.  This js takes ~30ms to parse on my machine.
        * tests/parse-only/jquery-1.3.2.js: Added.
          Latest version from jquery.com.
        * tests/parse-only/mootools-1.2.2-core-nc.js: Added.

        The bleeding edge branch of V8 now supports passing fileanmes after
        '-f', so the SunSpider script should be changed to do this again.

        - Rebalance test complexity.
        
        Scaled all the tests so they take 400-600ms on a reasonably normal user setup:
        
        Internet Explorer 7, Window XP, Dell Latitude D810 with a 2.13GHz Pentium M

        However, for some tests, IE7 was a huge outlier compared to other
        major browsers. For those tests, I used Firefox 2.0.0.8 on the
        same OS and hardware as a normalization basis.

        - New JavaScript benchmark
        http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15515
        
        A start on a new JavaScript benchmark, with standalone and
        browser-hosted drivers.
        
        The test content is still incomplete and the drivers could use
        some more features but there is enough here to make a good start.
        
        The drivers compute a 95% confidence interval on the mean for the
        whole test, each category, and each individual test to make it
        easier to tell whether differences are statistically
        significant. The confidence interval can be narrowed by running
        the test more times.
