how stack snapshots are taken and printed; they can be used in preference
to VG_(get_ExeContext)() and VG_(pp_ExeContext)(). These are used by
Massif, my heap profiling skin.
Changed --num-callers to allow a backtrace size of 1.
Added code so that when Valgrind fails to disassemble an instruction, the
instructions line/file and address are printed out, which makes it easier to
work out where and what it is. Required the stack snapshot changes above.
MERGE TO STABLE?

from skin's view, replacing all instances with ThreadId. Much cleaner. Had to
change the way VG_(get_ExeContext)() worked a little. Changed the core/skin
major interface because this breaks the old version. Also fixed a few minor
related things here and there.

properties of 'static'. Also, de-globalise this function. Some days
I really yearn for a proper module system in C. Come back Haskell,
all is forgiven :-)

HELGRIND: Add option to record ExeContext for every word access. This
is probably very slow and memory hungry, but it helps make the error
reports more useful. Defaults to off.

from core error ones:
- Split up VG_(panic) into VG_(core_panic) and VG_(skin_panic)
- Likewise, split vg_assert into vg_assert and sk_assert
- Added a new need string: `bug_reports_to'
- Removed VG_(skin_error) which was a previous wussy attempt at this change.
This removed the need for the hacky redeclaration of VG_(skin_error) in
vg_profile.c, which is good.
At the moment, Julian and Nick's email addresses are hard-coded into each skin
individually, rather than using a #define in vg_skin.h, because that didn't
feel quite right to me... jseward@acm.org is still done with a #define for
core errors, though.
