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

- Broke part of m_scheduler off into a new module m_threadstate. It
contains ThreadState, VG_(threads)[] and some basic operations on the
thread table. All simple stuff, the complex stuff stays in m_scheduler.
This avoids lots of circular dependencies between m_scheduler and other
modules.
- Managed to finally remove core.h and tool.h, double hurrah!
- Introduced pub_tool_basics.h and pub_core_basics.h, one of which is
include by every single C file.
- Lots of little cleanups and changes related to the above.
- I even did a small amount of documentation updating.

through the VG_(tdict) function dictionary, rather than using TL_(foo)
functions.
This facilitated the following changes:
- Removed the "TL_" prefix, which is no longer needed.
- Removed the auto-generated files vg_toolint.[ch], which were no longer
needed, which simplifies the build a great deal. Their (greatly
streamlined) contents went into core.h and vg_needs.h (and will soon
go into a new module defining the core/tool interface).
This also meant that tool.h.base reverted to tool.h (so no more
accidentally editing tool.h and not having the changes go into the
repo, hooray!) And gen_toolint.pl was removed. And toolfuncs.def was
removed.
- Removed VG_(missing_tool_func)(), no longer used.
- Bumped the core/tool interface major version number to 8. And I
killed the minor version number, which was never used. The layout
of the ToolInfo struct is such that this should not cause problems.

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.
