da695aa41a atoll() is a terrible function -- you can't do any error checking with it.
Some of our option processing code uses it.  This means that eg.
'--log-fd=9xxx' logs to fd 9, and '--log-fd=blahblahblah' logs to 0 (because
atoll() returns 0 if the string doesn't contain a number!)

It turns out that most of our option processing uses VG_(strtoll*) instead
of VG_(atoll).  The reason that not all of it does is that the
option-processing macros are underpowered -- they currently work well if you
just want to assign the value to a variable, eg:

        VG_BOOL_CLO(arg, "--heap",   clo_heap)
   else VG_BOOL_CLO(arg, "--stacks", clo_stacks)

   else VG_NUM_CLO(arg, "--heap-admin", clo_heap_admin)
   else VG_NUM_CLO(arg, "--depth",      clo_depth)

(This works because they are actually an if-statement, but it looks odd.)

VG_NUM_CLO uses VG_(stroll10).  But if you want to do any checking or
processing, you can't use those macros, leading to code like this:

      else if (VG_CLO_STREQN(9,  arg, "--log-fd=")) {
         log_to            = VgLogTo_Fd;
         VG_(clo_log_name) = NULL;
         tmp_log_fd        = (Int)VG_(atoll)(&arg[9]);
      }

So this commit:
- Improves the *_CLO_* macros so that they can be used in all circumstances.
  They're now just expressions (albeit ones with side-effects, setting the
  named variable appropriately).  Thus they can be used as if-conditions,
  and any post-checking or processing can occur in the then-statement.  And
  malformed numeric arguments (eg. --log-fd=foo) aren't accepted.  This also
  means you don't have to specify the lengths of any option strings anywhere
  (eg.  the 9 in the --log-fd example above).  The use of a wrong number
  caused at least one bug, in Massif.
- Updates all places where the macros were used.
- Updates Helgrind to use the *_CLO_* macros (it didn't use them).
- Updates Callgrind to use the *_CLO_* macros (it didn't use them), except
  for the more esoteric option names (those with numbers in the option
  name).  This allowed getUInt() and getUWord() to be removed.
- Improves the cache option parsing in Cachegrind and Callgrind -- now uses
  VG_(strtoll10)(), detects overflow, and is shorter.
- Uses INT instead of NUM in the macro names, to distinguish better vs. the
  DBL macro.
- Removes VG_(atoll*) and the few remaining uses -- they're wretched
  functions and VG_(strtoll*) should be used instead.
- Adds the VG_STREQN macro.
- Changes VG_BINT_CLO and VG_BHEX_CLO to abort if the given value is outside
  the range -- the current silent truncation is likely to cause confusion as
  much as anything.

a0bf8f8271 Minor refinements:
* h_main.c: handle a few more syscalls

* exp-ptrcheck.supp: ignore errors in glibc's getenv -- is highly optimised

* pc_common.c: fix small error in error message printing

5ad1dd61f9 Introduce a new type, PtrdiffT. Replace lots of uses of OffT (all those
that are memory offsets) with PtrdiffT;  OffT should only be used for file
sizes and offsets.

Change Off64T from a ULong to a Long, as it should be.  Replace some uses
of ULong in the address space manager with Off64T to match.

Also add a comment explaining the meanings of the basic types like Addr,
OffT, SizeT, etc.

Also fix the prototype for VG_(pread) -- the last arg is an OffT, not an
Int.

25445f9819 On ppc32/64 we don't have a reliable way to detect function entries
and exits at the moment.  So disable stack array bounds checking for
ppc32/64 platforms.  Also (unnecessarily) disables global array bounds
checking on those platforms.

Add a flag --enable-sg-checks=no|yes [yes] so that stack and global
checking can be optionally disabled on any platform.  This is useful
because stack and global checking is much more expensive than heap
checking, and so it may be desirable to disable it.
