trop[bot] ba551d265c perf: enable V8 builtins PGO (#50574)
* build: enable V8 builtins PGO

Removes the gn arg that disabled V8 builtins profile-guided optimization
and adds a V8 patch to warn instead of abort when the builtin PGO profile
data does not match. Also strips the PGO-related flags from the generated
mksnapshot_args so they are not passed through to downstream mksnapshot
invocations.

* docs: clarify Node.js async_hooks as reason for promise_hooks flag

Addresses review feedback: the v8_enable_javascript_promise_hooks flag
is set to support Node.js async_hooks, not used directly by Electron.

Exporting node's patches to v8

$ cd third_party/electron_node
$ CURRENT_NODE_VERSION=vX.Y.Z  # e.g. v10.11.0

# Find the last commit with the message "deps: update V8 to <some version>"
# This commit corresponds to node resetting V8 to its pristine upstream
# state at the stated version.
$ LAST_V8_UPDATE="$(git log --grep='^deps: update V8' --format='%H' -1 deps/v8)"

# This creates a patch file containing all changes in deps/v8 from
# $LAST_V8_UPDATE up to the current node version, formatted in a way that
# it will apply cleanly to the V8 repository (i.e. with `deps/v8`
# stripped off the path and excluding the v8/gypfiles directory, which
# isn't present in V8.
$ git format-patch \
    --relative=deps/v8 \
    $LAST_V8_UPDATE..$CURRENT_NODE_VERSION \
    deps/v8 \
    ':(exclude)deps/v8/gypfiles' \
    --stdout

When upgrading to a new version of node, make sure to match node's patches to v8 by removing all the deps_* patches and re-exporting node's v8 patches using the process above.
