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.

Explicitly set noinline so the test can check it is in the backtrace.
Newer gcc versions happily optimize it away otherwise.

Some hardware platforms will return "unknown" for 'uname -i', so it is more
accurate and common to run 'uname -m' which returns machine hardware name.
This way, some platforms that do not support sgcheck will avoid running tests
for it.

in .S files. Also included here is some cleanup, including a reversion
of r10378. Fixes bugzilla #197914.

I suspect the breakage is related to GCC's debug info.
Replace initialization with explicit assignment statement.
