* Disabled several tests on ARM when gdb version < 7.1
gdb 7.0 has problems with next/step/... in ARM thumb code.
* Documented in manual-core.xml that ARM thumb code implies
a gdb version >= 7.1
* m_gdbserver.h/.c : take into account the thumb bit at several places
* use new IRStmt_IMark::delta field to distinguish ARM vs Thumb
instructions as committed in vex r2153

Fix some tests on ppc-debian6,s390x + handled Nick Nethercote, Josef
Weidendorfer comments
* improved testing & related doc
- added option --vex-iropt-precise-memory-exns=yes to mcsig(no)pass.vgtest
+ updated manual-core.xml
- cleanup some comments in *.vgtest
- modified filter_gdb and filter_memcheck_monitor to
handle specific ppc/debian6.0 mcsig(no)pass output
handle specific s390x 'missing debug info'
- added more information in README_DEVELOPPERS on how to
investigate failing gdbserver tests.
* handled Nick Nethercote comment:
Replaced kludgy ms.snapshot detailed
by ms.detailed_snaphot
Updated documentation and test.
* handled Josef Weindendorfer comments:
- do not report an error if ptrace_scope file can't be read.
Instead, a debug trace is done if -d (debug) option given
- added an option -l to give the list of active Valgrind
gdbserver. Useful a.o. to support callgrind_control.
Updated documentation
- added ref. to vgdb help in the vgdb --help message

on various platforms:
* In all gdbserver_tests using gdb:
Made a more general way to remove the initial start message.
* tests using threads burning cpu modified to have only 1 thread.
This makes them independent of the scheduler fairness.
* filter_gdb and filter_vgdb enhanced to anonymise
some debian 6.0/ppc specific things
some s390x/gdb 7.0, gdb 7.1 specific things
* vgdb.c: added an #include <linux/ptrace.h> to fix compilation
on s390x fedora and suse. (Christian Boerntrager)
* fixed a bug in valgrind-low.c debug log :
when a register size is 0, its image cannot be output (and register
should not be transferred).
* added a parameter --keep-unfiltered to vg_regtest.in
This will make it easier to update filter_gdb:
in case gdbserver_tests are failing due to "artificial"
differences to be filtered, re-run the tests using:
perl tests/vg_regtest --keep-unfiltered gdbserver_tests
Then a tar file with all the *.out in gdbserver_tests
will allow me to better/faster update the filter_gdb.
* made a better detection of a working PTRACE_GETREGS at compile time
and/or at run-time.
This is the patch on bug 214909 comment 69.
