Valgrind's dependency on the dynamic linker for getting started, and
instead takes things into its own hands.
This checkin doesn't add much in the way of new functionality, but it
is the basis for all future work on Valgrind. It allows us much more
flexibility in implementation, and well as increasing the reliability
of Valgrind by protecting it more from its clients.
This patch requires some changes to tools to update them to the changes
in the tool API, but they are straightforward. See the posting "Heads
up: Full Virtualization" on valgrind-developers for a more complete
description of this change and its effects on you.

the places that normal users will see:
- command line: --tool=foo (although --skin=foo still works)
- docs: removed all traces (included renaming coregrind_skins.html to
coregrind_tools.html)
- in the usage messages
- in error messages
Also did in in some places that I judged were unlikely to cause clashes with
existing workspaces:
- in the header comments of many files (eg. "This file is part of Memcheck, a
Valgrind tool for...")
- in the regtests script
- in the .supp files
- in AUTHORS
- in README_MISSING_SYSCALL_OR_IOCTL
Also update the AUTHORS file to mention Jeremy.

had forgotten that some errors (PThread errors) are found by the core, rather
than skins and so the skin shouldn't be involved in handling them. This commit
fixes the problem.

for skins.
Changed lackey to print out the exit code.
Changed AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS back to 1.5 (whoops)

100 bytes (added VG_DEFAULT_TRANS_SIZEB). Took the now-unnecessary settings
out of Nulgrind and CoreCheck. Also made .avg_translation_sizeB a UInt (from
an Int), to avoid possibility of negatives.

that changes will cause binary incompatibilities. Mostly done by hiding naked
structs with function calls.
Structs hidden in this way were: UCodeBlock, SkinSupp and SkinError (which were
merged back with CoreSupp and CoreError into single types Supp and Error),
ShadowChunk, VgDetails, VgNeeds and VgTrackEvents. The last three are the most
important ones, as they are (I think) the most likely to change.
Suitable get()/set() methods were defined for each one. The way UCodeBlocks
are copied for instrumentation by skins is a little different now, using
setup_UCodeBlock. Had to add a few other functions here n there. Changed
how SK_(complete_shadow_chunk) works a bit.
Added a file coregrind/vg_needs.c which contains all the get/set functions.
It's pretty simple.
The changes are not totally ideal -- eg. ShadowChunks has get()/set() methods
for its `next' field which arguably shouldn't be exposed (betraying the fact
that it's a linked list), and the get()/set() methods are a bit cumbersome at
times, esp. for `Error' because the fields are accessed quite a few times, and
the treatment of Supps and Errors is a bit inconsistent (but they are used in
different ways), and sizeof_shadow_blocks is still a hack. But still better
than naked structs. And one advantage is that a bit of sanity checking can be
performed by the get()/set() methods, as is done for VG_({get,set}_sc_extra)()
to make sure no reading/writing occurs outside the allowed area.
I didn't do it for UInstr, because its fields are accessed directly in lots and
lots of spots, which would have been a great big pain and I was a little
worried about overhead of calling lots of extra functions, although in practice
translation times are small enough that it probably doesn't matter.
Updated the example skin and the docs, too, hurrah.

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!
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@1279
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.

- changed lots of Makefile.am files
- changed configure.in
- changed lots of #include lines for changed file names
- changed lots of file headers n footers for changed file names
- changed vg_regtest to handle new directory structure -- recursively
traverses subdirectories for .vgtest test files
- changed lots of paths in memcheck/ regression test expected outputs
