on some advanced aspects of the core (client requests, function
wrapping) and move stuff from the main core manual into it.

Memcheck, replacing the 9-bits-per-byte shadow memory representation to a
2-bits-per-byte representation (with possibly a little more on the side) by
taking advantage of the fact that extremely few memory bytes are partially
defined.
For the SPEC2k benchmarks with "test" inputs, this speeds up Memcheck by a
(geometric mean) factor of 1.20, and reduces the size of shadow memory by a
(geometric mean) factor of 4.26.
At the same time, Addrcheck is removed. It hadn't worked for quite some
time, and with these improvements in Memcheck its raisons-d'etre have
shrivelled so much that it's not worth the effort to keep around. Hooray!
Nb: this code hasn't been tested on PPC. If things go wrong, look first in
the fast stack-handling functions (eg. mc_new_mem_stack_160,
MC_(helperc_MAKE_STACK_UNINIT)).

- removed a reference to cachegrind dot org from mc-tech-docs.xml
- in an effort to simplify future borked links, replaced all valgrind
website urls with entities so now we just have to change one string.
- new stylesheet to create the docs to 'fit' into the website
- added build rules 'make website-docs' + make download-docs
to /docs/Makefile.am

bug-patches and created some new ones in the stylesheets.
Also tweaked some files to structure the xml properly.
The FAQ and the Quick-Start are now 'articles' inside a book-wrapper,
which is as it should be.
FAQ.xml
- due to various passivetex bug fixes, the faq is now a properly
structured xml qandaset document
quick-start-guide.xml:
manual.xml
- Fixed some passivetex-workaround kludges:
legalnotice -> author
manual-core.xml:
For readability, added '<command>' to varlistentry items
since passivetex (sigh) will no longer indent the para text.
index.xml:
- loads of white-space readability tweaks here and there.
tech-docs.xml
dist-docs.xml
manual.xml
- additional entries to <bookinfo> for compatability with
the rest of the docs.
/docs/Makefile.am
- added stuff to use the new vg-faq2txt.xsl stylesheet
/docs/lib/Makefile.am
- updated to reflect current contents of /docs/lib/
- removed refs to vg-html-single as is never ever used
/docs/lib/vg-fo.xsl
- massively updated to reflect losing old bugs and gaining new ones
/docs/lib/vg-common.xsl
- deleted as only contained two lines common to html and fo,
so not worth the bother of hauling around
/docs/lib/vg-html-chunk.xsl
- added what was in vg-common.xsl
/docs/lib/line-wrap.xsl
/docs/lib/faq2text.xsl
- two new stylesheet files for transforming FAQ.xml to FAQ.txt

converted by Donna. Hooked it into the build system so they are only
built when specifically asked for, and when doing "make dist".
They're not perfect; in particular, there are the following problems:
- The plain-text FAQ should be built from FAQ.xml, but this is not
currently done. (The text FAQ has been left in for now.)
- The PS/PDF building doesn't work -- it fails with an incomprehensible
error message which I haven't yet deciphered.
Nonetheless, I'm putting it in so others can see it.
