only decrease the size of a block, does not change the address,
does not need to alloc another block and copy the memory,
and (if big enough) makes the excess memory available for other
allocations.
VG_(arena_realloc_shrink) is then used for debuginfo storage.c
(replacing an allocation + copy).
Also use it in the dedup pool, to recuperate the unused
memory of the last pool.
This also allows to re-increase the string pool size to the original
3.9.0 value of 64Kb. All this slightly decrease the peak and in use
memory of dinfo.
VG_(arena_realloc_shrink) will also be used to implement (in another patch)
a dedup pool which "numbers" the allocated elements.

represent the sizes of types, even on 32-bit hosts, where a type with
a size >= 2^32 is, well, if not meaningless, then at least impossible
to instantiate. This is of course motivated by reality .. on ppc32
SUSE11.0, the debuginfo for glibc-2.8 appears to contain a declaration
amounting to
char __EH_FRAME_BEGIN__ [4294967296]
Really.

relatively minor extensions to m_debuginfo, a major overhaul of
m_debuginfo/readdwarf3.c to get its space usage under control, and
changes throughout the system to enable heap-use profiling.
The majority of the merged changes were committed into
branches/PTRCHECK as the following revs: 8591 8595 8598 8599 8601 and
