* Option --vex-iropt-precise-memory-exns has been removed.
It is replaced by --vex-iropt-register-updates which accepts
3 values : 'unwindregs-at-mem-access' (replacing
--vex-iropt-precise-memory-exns=no), 'allregs-at-mem-access'
(replacing --vex-iropt-precise-memory-exns=yes)
and a new value 'allregs-at-each-insn'.
'allregs-at-each-insn' allows the Valgrind gdbserver to always
show up to date values to GDB.

* For tools replacing the malloc library (e.g. Memcheck, Helgrind, ...),
the option --redzone-size=<number> allows to control the padding
blocks (redzones) added before and after each client allocated block.
Smaller redzones decrease the memory needed by Valgrind. Bigger
redzones increase the chance to detect blocks overrun or underrun.

During investigations of 303963, Josef found that flags are not always
up to date and that --vex-guest-max-insns=1 ensures flags values
are (more?) correct.
=> enhance the paragraph in the gdbserver limitations to reference
this option and give an idea of the performance impact of the other
options helping to increase the precision of registers and flags.

WRT the memcheck test: the good news is we get all the complaints
we want. The bad news is:
- the line numbers from within do_cu21 are off
- there are 2 complaints when attempting to convert from
an uninitialised input buffer instead of one. One of them has a
completely bogus line number.
Possibly due to bad debug info? Let's see what happens on machines
with more recent GCCs.

* when cond var is destroyed, in the PRE, report an error if nwaiters > 0.
* when cond_wait succeeds, get the cond var but do not create one in helgrind
(it must exist if cond_wait was done).
Report an error if cond not found (assuming this is caused by a destroy
done while the thread was cond_wait-ing).
* added a test

User is supposed to mark the superblock(s) of a mempool as noaccess.
As Valgrind objective is to find bugs for users which are doing bugs, let's even
find (some) bugs if the user has a bug in the bug detection code.

Allow Valgrind to run on android emulator.
+ added README.android_emulator giving some details about versions used.

because I don't think we want to report those.
Moved some more from 3_7_BUGSTATUS to NEWS because they are marked as FIXED
in Bugzilla.

Note: a paragraph in PLATFORM CHANGES section of NEWS indicating
the addition of the MIPS port (and some details) would be good
(as this is a major change).
