8026c4766f Various option-related tweaks:
- Match the ordering of the non-tool-specific options in the usage message
  with the order in the user manual.  As a result, we now always print
  --alignment and --trace-malloc in the core's usage messages, which saves
  malloc-replacing tools from doing it themselves (and brings it in line
  with options that only apply to error-collecting tools).

- Improved the presentation of the Vex options with --help-debug.

- Removed documentation of -d in the manual because it's a debugging-only flag.

- Documented --read-var-info in the manual.  This fixes bug 201169.

- Renamed --auto-run-dsymutil as --dsymutil and documented it in the usage
  message.

- Fixed an XML error in manual-core-adv.xml.

0356d27ca6 Merge in changes from the 2.4.0 line. This basically brings in the
overhaul of the thread support.  Many things are now probably broken,
but at least with --tool=none, simple and not-so-simple threaded and
non-thread programs work.

9ce21c9e69 Fixed up various command line option scenarios:
- If no tool is specified, V now gives a short message and a list of
    available tools.  This was meant to happen previously, but a bug prevented
    it from working properly;  it gave the usage message instead.

  - If a bad option is given, V now gives a short message rather than the full
    --help.  This make V consistent with all other programs I looked at.

  - Now returning 0 when you do 'valgrind --help' and 'valgrind --version'
    as other programs do.

  - Removed VG_(startup_logging)() and VG_(shutdown_logging)() as they were
    empty and have been for a long time (always?).

  - Added various tests for these scenarios.  Had to change the regtest
    script slightly to allow for malformed command lines.

This addresses bug (wishlist) #82999.
