Description of change

This PR adds back the shipping harmony flags (i.e. no-ops) that were removed in V8 5.1. While uses of V8 flags is generally not supported by Node, in this case a trivial change reduces minor hardship in the ecosystem by adding back these flags (and making them do nothing).

Fixes: #8388
Ref: #8395

Note that I have not added back the --harmony_modules flag. It was removed in V8 5.1, but it was not a 'shipping', but rather an 'in progress' feature. Since modules require embedder support anyway, I don't think much, if anything, is dependent on that flag.

This LGTM for v6, but I want to make sure it's absolutely clear that these won't be in v7. We should likely have a documented policy that V8 flags removed within a major would only be noop'ed in that major, and removed completely in the next major.

I think our policy should be that use of V8 flags is not supported. This is a one-off change, and not intended to set precedent that we want to be playing with V8 flags.

@bnoordhuis you had left a -1 on #8395 on the idea of floating a patch. Would you be okay with this change?

A grumbling LGTM.

Add back the no-op harmony shipping flags that were removed in V8 5.1
to increase compatibility with V8 5.0 that we had been shipping before
v6.5.0. These flags do nothing.
