normally give execute permission to memory allocated from the heap
with sbrk.
This also required fixing the smc1 test for amd64 to use mmap to
allocate memory so that it can have execute permission.

go, but realistically we can't implement it portably, at least without
considerable performance overhead and some additional complexity.

the guest extents for the presented translation and also its original
un-redirected guest address. These changes are needed in particular
to make cachegrind's code cache management work properly.

checking of programs done in these two places are combined, which avoids
duplicate code and greatly reduces the number of cases in which exec()
fails causing Valgrind to bomb out.
Also, we can now load some programs we could not previously, such as scripts
lacking a "#!" line at the start. Also, the startup failure messages for
bad programs match the shell's messages very closely.
And I added a whole bunch of regtests to test all this.

changes from r4341 through r4787 inclusive). That branch is now dead.
Please do not commit anything else to it.
For the most part the merge was not troublesome. The main areas of
uncertainty are:
- build system: I had to import by hand Makefile.core-AM_CPPFLAGS.am
and include it in a couple of places. Building etc seems to still
work, but I haven't tried building the documentation.
- syscall wrappers: Following analysis by Greg & Nick, a whole lot of
stuff was moved from -generic to -linux after the branch was created.
I think that is satisfactorily glued back together now.
- Regtests: although this appears to work, no .out files appear, which
is strange, and makes it hard to diagnose regtest failures. In
particular memcheck/tests/x86/scalar.stderr.exp remains in a
conflicted state.
- amd64 is broken (slightly), and ppc32 will be unbuildable. I'll
attend to the former shortly.

- filter out L3 warning messages so they don't break Cachegrind's regtests
- handle lack of mq support gracefully in mq.c

relies on --smc-support=all to work correctly. Hence it tests the
s-m-c support at least on x86. Jump through various hoops to defeat
vex's basic-block-chasing optimisation, which has an annoying habit of
making this test work correctly even without --smc-support=all.

bit-rotted badly and was clogging up the code.
I put the useful remnants in docs/porting-to-ARM in case anyone ever
wants to try porting to ARM again.
