attempt to fix debugger attach on ppc32-linux and ppc64-linux (see
#151908). The fork/ptrace-based mechanism works fine for x86-linux
and amd64-linux but not on ppc. I have no idea what is going on.
It seems like the forked child process (to which we will attach GDB)
does not stop when it does PTRACE_TRACE_ME and so things go downhill
very rapidly after that.

interface:
r6805: Modify two thread-notification events in the core-tool
interface. This removes track_post_thread_create and
track_post_thread_join. The core can only see low level thread
creation and exiting, and has no idea about pthread-level concepts
like "pthread_create" and "pthread_join", so these are a bit
ambiguous.
Replace them with track_pre_thread_ll_create, which is notified before
a new thread makes any memory references, and
track_pre_thread_ll_exit, which is notified just before the new thread
exits, that is, after it has made its last memory reference.
r6823: Core-tool interface: give 'needs_tool_errors' an extra Boolean
indicating whether or not the core should print thread id's on error
messages.

different error kinds were reusing the same struct for storing their
details. Each one used some but not all the fields, and the AddrInfo was
similar, and it was very confusing.
So I changed MC_Error and AddrInfo to be tagged unions, like Vex's IRExpr and
IRStmt types. The resulting code is a little more verbose but much easier
to understand. I also split up several error kinds, which also made things
simpler. The user-visible behaviour is identical except for a couple of
very minor things that I've documented in the NEWS file for the 3.3.0
release.
Ideally I'd get rid of the Addr and Char* fields in the core Error type,
which are not always used, and do them similarly within tools. But that
would require changing the core/tool interface, so I'm leaving it for the
moment.

Mostly commented out the unused stuff relating to ThreadErrs and MutexErrs,
which no longer exist.

since the suppression-matching machinery does the same. Not doing so
causes auto-generated suppressions involving Z-mangled fn names to not
work.

Accumulate statistics about the number of searches in the errors and

interface, except for the syscall numbers, into that. Mostly this
means moving include/vki-*.h to include/vki/vki-*.h.
include/pub_tool_basics.h previously dragged in the entire kernel
interface. I've done away with that, so that modules which need to
see the kernel interface now have to include pub_{core,tool}_vki.h
explicitly. This is why there are many modified .c files -- they have
all acquired an extra #include line.
This certainly breaks all platforms except x86. Will fix shortly.

interception and wrapping. This was causing failures matching
function names in suppressions to function names in backtraces when
the latter names were Z-encoded (eg malloc), which typically caused
all leak suppressions to fail because they contain names such as
malloc, which are Z-encoded.

- m_main: if --log-file-qualifier applies, do not add ".pid"
at the end of the name
- Fix the logic which detected whether the just-devised name
already existed. This was broken (by me) because it could not
distinguish the reasons for failing to open the logfile.
Doing this required changing the return type of VG_(open)
from Int to SysRes (to make failure reasons visible) and
that's the cause of most of the changes.

m_debugger. This removes the dependence of m_signals.c and m_errormgr.c
on m_main.c. It required also moving VG_(clexecfd) out of m_main.c; I put
it in m_libcproc.c which seemed like an ok-but-not-great choice.

- 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.

As part of this, killed the VG_STRINGIFY macro, which was used to expand
out names like "VG_(foo)" and "vgPlain_foo" in assertion failure
messages. This is good since we actually want the "VG_(foo)" form used
in these messages.

relying on any other modules -- in m_libcbase.
Also converted the 'size' parameters to functions like VG_(memcpy) and
VG_(strncpy) from Int to SizeT, as they should be.
Also removed VG_(atoll16) and VG_(toupper), which weren't being used.
Also made VG_(atoll36) less flexible -- it now only does base-36 numbers
instead of any base in the range 2..36, since base-36 is the only one we
need. As part of that, I fixed a horrible bug in it which caused it to
return incorrect answers for any number containing the digits 'A'..'I'!
(Eg. for "A; it would return 17 instead of 10!)
Had to disable the assertions in VG_(string_match), since this module can't
see vg_assert, which wasn't ideal but also isn't a disaster.

form. The relevant flag is --xml=yes. Currently this only works with
Memcheck.
Specifying this flag fixes various other options relating to verbosity
and behaviour of the leak checker, so that the resulting output is in
a relatively fixed form suitable for parsing by GUIs.
Still to do:
* Add mechanism to show error counts
* Add regression test
* Document the resulting format
