macro VG_DETERMINE_INTERFACE_VERSION exactly once. If the X.Y core and skin
versions don't have a matching X (indicating binary incompatibility), Valgrind
will abort execution immediately at startup.
I even documented it in the skins guide!

Added "version" and "copyright_author" fields for skins to supply.
Now startup message looks something like this:
==12698== cachegrind, an I1/D1/L2 cache profiler for x86-linux.
==12698== Copyright (C) 2002, and GNU GPL'd, by Nicholas Nethercote.
==12698== Built with valgrind-HEAD, a program execution monitor.
==12698== Copyright (C) 2000-2002, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward.
==12698== Estimated CPU clock rate is 1422 MHz
==12698== For more details, rerun with: -v
The skin can specify a version number, but the skins that will be distributed
with Valgrind don't.
Also changed "x86 GNU/Linux" to the wicked "x86-linux" at Julian's request.
Updated default regression test filter to handle this new startup message.
----
Also moved the skin's name, description, etc., fields out of VG_(needs) into a
new struct VG_(details), since they are logically quite different to the needs.
Did a little code formatting, etc., for this. Updated skin docs
correspondingly, too.
Also renamed the need `run_libc_freeres' --> `libc_freeres' so it's a noun
phrase rather than a verb phrase.

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.

an example skin which is referred to in the documentation, and is designed to
be a template which can be copied.
