AVX support implies to have target xml files which are selected
according to the machine hwcaps.
This change improves the structure of the gdbserver software layering
to prepare for this.
Basically, the protocol files (e.g. server.c) are now calling directly
the valgrind target operations which are now defined in target.h/target.c
(before, there was a level of indirection inheritated from the GDB
structure which was useless for valgrind gdbserver).

Following a discussion about which user can debug which VAlgrind gdbserver:
The default umask will remove the "other" and "group" write bits.
Without the w bits, nothing works in any case.
Moreover, if the vgdb process does not belong to the user running the
V gdbserver, connections are also not possible.
=> remove useless/confusing bits.

These holes are not initialized,
and writing these uninitialised bytes to the mapped file
causes an error being reported when running Valgrind
inside Valgrind. Having no holes avoid having this error.

is set. This ensures a correct help msg is given when
the valgrind installation is moved, and VALGRIND_LIB is
then set to the new valgrind lib location.
Note it does not improve the help msg when valgrind
is run "in place" (e.g. when using vg-in-place).

Those are obtained by looking at some commonly defined environment
variables.
That should help with problems where /tmp is shared or process IDs get
recycled. We had some intermittent nightly build issues because of that.
Partial fix for bugzilla #280757.

and TMPDIR which was introduced when fixing bugzilla #267020.
Factor out VG_(tmpdir). New function VG_(vgdb_path_prefix).
Partially fixes bugzilla #280757.

* fix error in usability msg
* make a test more deterministic

--vgdb-error=N is specified, print a bit of text telling the user the
magic commands to give GDB in order to attach to the process.

Patch that fixes the problem reported by Christian Borntraeger.
The problem was created by keeping the shared memory mapped file opened
without reason till the process does an exec.
In case of a chain of forked processes (without exec), the range of safe_fd
reserved for Valgrind own usage becomes exhausted.
* coregrind/m_gdbserver/remote-utils.c :
do not VG_(safe_fd) shared_mem_fd (as it is now closed directly)
close shared_mem_fd once file is mmap-ed and written.
* gdbserver_tests/nlfork_chain.stderr.exp,nlfork_chain.vgtest,
fork_chain.c,nlfork_chain.stdout.exp:
new files
* gdbserver_tests/Makefile.am:
modified for new nlfork_chain test

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
