Reason for revert:
Revert, due to problems with stale build artefacts uncovered by this.
Details: https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=4171
Original issue's description:
> Re-land: Enable external startup by default on Linux.
>
> crrev.com/
1016603004 should have fixed the issues that broke this last time.
>
> Notes:
> - The current functionality is meant to stay. If you prefer the old way,
> just set v8_use_external_startup_data=0.
> - You might notice this if you call d8 via PATH. Either explicitly tell d8
> where your external snapshot/built-ins are, or change the build options
> as above.
> - This follows Chromium practice, that mostly uses this feature these days.
> - Other platforms to follow later.
