ae8215b3ac Create a new module, m_vki, and move all knowledge about the kernel
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.

287d92271f The m_syswrap subsystem is Valgrind's model of how the kernel behaves
with respect to syscalls.  It is detailed and comprehensive but does
not offer a way to deal with minor deviations in behaviour from the
vanilla kernel sources, either due to running a hacked kernel or
running a vanilla kernel with a custom kernel module loaded.

This commit adds a flexible way to handle such cases without polluting
the vanilla handler syswrap-*.c files or their supporting vki_*.h
header files.  For each OS, a syswrap-OS-variants.c file is added,
containing wrappers for variants of OS.  A new command line flag
--kernel-variants= carries a comma separated list of variant names
that apply to the current run.  There are no other changes.
