(1) In r14664 VG_(get_fnname_if_entry) was changed to always
return a function name, even if that function was *not* an
entry. That broke callgrind and was also confusing because
it contradicts what "get_fnname_if_entry" suggests.
(2) In r14189 a function call was removed because it was considered
redundant which it was not.
Both bugs were hunted down by Joseph Weidendorfer.

Assorted fixes in exp-bbv to eliminate a few buffers.
Implement a suggestion found in the massif source, namely to add the
equivalent of fprintf to m_libcprint. Good suggestion. Thusly
- VgFile: similar to FILE; buffered output, 8k buffer
- VG_(fopen): similar to fopen, but with arguments as in VG_(open)
- VG_(fprintf) and VG_(vfprintf): like [v]fprintf with VgFile 1at argument
- VG_(fclose)
Change massif, exp-bbv and cachegrind to use this functionality.

This patch changes the interface and behaviour of VG_(demangle) and
VG_(maybe_Z_demangle). Instead of copying the demangled name into a
fixed sized buffer that is passed in from the caller (HChar *buf, Int n_buf),
the demangling functions will now return a pointer to the full-length
demangled name (HChar **result). It is the caller's responsiblilty to
make a copy if needed.
This change in function parameters ripples upward
- first: to get_sym_name
- then to the convenience wrappers
- VG_(get_fnname)
- VG_(get_fnname_w_offset)
- VG_(get_fnname_if_entry)
- VG_(get_fnname_raw)
- VG_(get_fnname_no_cxx_demangle)
- VG_(get_datasym_and_offset)
The changes in foComplete then forces the arguments of
- VG_(get_objname) to be changed as well
There are some issues regarding the ownership and persistence of
character strings to consider.
In general, the returned character string is owned by "somebody else"
which means the caller must not free it. Also, the caller must not
modify the returned string as it possibly points to read only memory.
Additionally, the returned string is not necessarily persistent. Here are
the scenarios:
- the returned string is a demangled function name in which case the
memory holding the string will be freed when the demangler is called again.
- the returned string hangs off of a DebugInfo structure in which case
it will be freed when the DebugInfo is discarded
- the returned string hangs off of a segment in the address space manager
in which case it may be overwritten when the segment is merged with
another segment
So the rule of thunb here is: if in doubt strdup the string.
