3075ee0682 Rename VG_(tool_interface), which is overly general and a bit verbose, as
VG_(tdict).  Also make the typing more meaningful in vg_mallocfuncs_info.
And (barely) start removing the use of "TL_" names in the core.

f1f707c7b2 This change reduces the number of calls to dlsym() when loading tools from a
lot to one.  This required two basic changes.

1. Tools are responsible for telling the tool about any functions they
provide that the tool may call.  This includes basic functions like
TL_(instrument)(), functions that assist core services such as
TL_(pp_Error)(), and malloc-replacement-related functions like
TL_(malloc)().  

2. Tools that replace malloc now specify the size of the heap block redzones
through an arg to the VG_(malloc_funcs)() function, rather than with a
variable VG_(vg_malloc_redzone_szB).

One consequence of these changes is that VG_(tool_init_dlsym)() no longer
needs to be generated by gen_toolint.pl.

There are a number of further improvements that could follow on from this one.
- Avoid the confusingly different definitions of the TL_() macro in the
  core vs. for tools.  Indeed, the functions provided by the tools now don't
  need to use the TL_() macro at all, as they can have arbitrary names.
- Remove a lot of the auto-generated stuff in vg_toolint.c and vg_toolint.h
  (indeed, it might be possible to not auto-generate these at all, which
  would be nice).
- The handling of VgToolInterface is currently split across vg_needs.c and
  vg_toolint.c, which isn't nice.

05fe123a9e Update copyright notice for 2005 on all relevant files. Don't bother trying
to be selective about it.

0356d27ca6 Merge in changes from the 2.4.0 line. This basically brings in the
overhaul of the thread support.  Many things are now probably broken,
but at least with --tool=none, simple and not-so-simple threaded and
non-thread programs work.

ce2585d447 Changed message at the top of files, and the startup message, and the
string in valgrind.pc.in, so that they describe Valgrind as a "dynamic
binary instrumentation framework", and don't mention platforms at all.  

I had to tweak the regtest filters a bit for this.

a54180bc29 Use -w instead of "use warnings" to enable warnings so that older
versions of perl can handle the script.

13a74aa53a Arch-abstraction: renamed "vg_skin.h" as "tool.h". Kept a residual vg_skin.h
(which just #includes tool.h) for backward-compatibility.

5ca20c879d Adding "use strict" and "use warnings", for safety. Required some extra
variable declarations.
