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.
