mempcpy which is called from printf does not mess up the
carefully-balanced call-stack overflow checks that this test does on
ppc64-linux.

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.

Supply our own random number generator; else this test produces different
results on different platforms.

Makefile.am changes for AIX5. Almost all boilerplate stuff fitting in
with the existing factorisation scheme. The only change of interest
is that configure.in now generates automake symbols of name
VGP_platform and VGO_os, whereas previously it just made VG_platform
which was a bit inconsistent with the VGP/VGO/VGA scheme used in C
code.

use an mmx register (which is the same thing in disguise) since mmx
loads/stores are guaranteed to be the identity. This should fix
failures of this test on x86-linux.

stores of char/short/int/int64/double at random offsets and hence
alignments in an array. It does it in a way in which the computation
just computes the expected V bits, and hence can check whether these
seem correct.

on PPC32 now but break it on the other platforms. Julian will commit a
change to ensure the 32-bit floats are copied through the FP regs on all
platforms to make the broken ones work again.

noaccess, writable, readable, other
Now they are:
noaccess, undefined, defined, partdefined
As a result, the following names:
make_writable, make_readable,
check_writable, check_readable, check_defined
have become:
make_mem_undefined, make_mem_defined,
check_mem_is_addressable, check_mem_is_defined, check_value_is_defined
(and likewise for the upper-case versions for client request macros).
The old MAKE_* and CHECK_* macros still work for backwards compatibility.
This is much better, because the old names were subtly misleading. For
example:
- "readable" really meant "readable and writable".
- "writable" really meant "writable and maybe readable, depending on how
the read value is used".
- "check_writable" really meant "check writable or readable"
The new names avoid these problems.
The recently-added macro which was called MAKE_DEFINED is now
MAKE_MEM_DEFINED_IF_ADDRESSABLE.
I also corrected the spelling of "addressable" in numerous places in
memcheck.h.

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)).
