991367c922 Merge in the COMPVBITS branch to the trunk. This is a big change to
Memcheck, replacing the 9-bits-per-byte shadow memory representation to a
2-bits-per-byte representation (with possibly a little more on the side) by
taking advantage of the fact that extremely few memory bytes are partially
defined.

For the SPEC2k benchmarks with "test" inputs, this speeds up Memcheck by a
(geometric mean) factor of 1.20, and reduces the size of shadow memory by a
(geometric mean) factor of 4.26.

At the same time, Addrcheck is removed.  It hadn't worked for quite some
time, and with these improvements in Memcheck its raisons-d'etre have
shrivelled so much that it's not worth the effort to keep around.  Hooray!

Nb: this code hasn't been tested on PPC.  If things go wrong, look first in
the fast stack-handling functions (eg. mc_new_mem_stack_160,
MC_(helperc_MAKE_STACK_UNINIT)).

c2aa0a5eea Post-release changes:
- removed a reference to cachegrind dot org from mc-tech-docs.xml
- in an effort to simplify future borked links, replaced all valgrind 
  website urls with entities so now we just have to change one string.
- new stylesheet to create the docs to 'fit' into the website
- added build rules 'make website-docs' + make download-docs
  to /docs/Makefile.am

2022dbf52c Due to package upgrades (docbook, passivetex), removed some
bug-patches and created some new ones in the stylesheets.
Also tweaked some files to structure the xml properly.
The FAQ and the Quick-Start are now 'articles' inside a book-wrapper,
which is as it should be.

FAQ.xml
- due to various passivetex bug fixes, the faq is now a properly 
  structured xml qandaset document

quick-start-guide.xml:
manual.xml
- Fixed some passivetex-workaround kludges:
  legalnotice -> author

manual-core.xml:
For readability, added '<command>' to varlistentry items 
since passivetex (sigh) will no longer indent the para text.

index.xml:
- loads of white-space readability tweaks here and there.

tech-docs.xml
dist-docs.xml
manual.xml
- additional entries to <bookinfo> for compatability with
  the rest of the docs.

/docs/Makefile.am
- added stuff to use the new vg-faq2txt.xsl stylesheet

/docs/lib/Makefile.am
- updated to reflect current contents of /docs/lib/
- removed refs to vg-html-single as is never ever used

/docs/lib/vg-fo.xsl
- massively updated to reflect losing old bugs and gaining new ones

/docs/lib/vg-common.xsl
- deleted as only contained two lines common to html and fo,
  so not worth the bother of hauling around

/docs/lib/vg-html-chunk.xsl
- added what was in vg-common.xsl

/docs/lib/line-wrap.xsl
/docs/lib/faq2text.xsl
- two new stylesheet files for transforming FAQ.xml to FAQ.txt

63bfdbc99f Reinstate timestamping, sort-of, having trashed VG_(ctime) as part of
the glibc-removal process.  Timestamps are now printed in terms of
elapsed wallclock time since startup, shown as days, hours, minutes,
seconds and milliseconds.  The arithmetic is done with 32-bit unsigned
ints, so people doing Valgrind runs that last longer than 49.71 days
are going to see some funny results :-)
