Cleaned up the mess that was the treatment of "below main" functions such as
...
'__libc_start_main', in Massif, m_debuginfo and m_stacktrace. As part of
this, --show-below-main is now visible to tools, and Massif pays attention
to it.
Improved the description of --show-below-main=yes in the manual.
Replaced some instances of "__libc_start_main" in the test *.exp files with
"(below main)", which is what will actually be seen. Also updated
scalar.stderr.exp*, which should make it get closer to actually passing.

Improve handling of programs which require very large main thread
...
stacks. Instead of hardwiring the main thread stack to a max of 16MB
and segfaulting the app beyond that point, allow the user to specify
the main stack size using the new flag --main-stacksize=<number>.
If said flag is not present, the current default, which is "MIN(16GB,
current ulimit -s value)", is used.

Update documents in preparation for 3.3.0, and restructure them

somewhat to move less relevant material out of the way to some extent.
The main changes are:
* Update date and version info
* Mention other tools in the quick-start guide
* Document --child-silent-after-fork
* Rearrange order of sections in the Valgrind Core chapter, to move
advanced stuff (client requests) to the end, and compact stuff
relevant to the majority of users towards the front
* Move MPI debugging stuff from the Core manual (a nonsensical place
for it) to the Memcheck chapter
* Update the manual's introductory chapter a bit
* Connect up new tech docs summary page, and disconnect old and
very out of date valgrind/memcheck tech docs
* Add section tags to the Cachegrind manual, to stop xsltproc
complaining about their absence

Removed the Cachegrind tech docs, because they're so out of date to be
useless. My PhD dissertation gives a much better description of how
Cachegrind works. (I mentioned this in the Cachegrind user manual.) The
only still-useful part of Cachegrind's tech docs, the output file format
description, I moved into the Cachegrind user manual.
