* Option --vex-iropt-precise-memory-exns has been removed.
It is replaced by --vex-iropt-register-updates which accepts
3 values : 'unwindregs-at-mem-access' (replacing
--vex-iropt-precise-memory-exns=no), 'allregs-at-mem-access'
(replacing --vex-iropt-precise-memory-exns=yes)
and a new value 'allregs-at-each-insn'.
'allregs-at-each-insn' allows the Valgrind gdbserver to always
show up to date values to GDB.

* For tools replacing the malloc library (e.g. Memcheck, Helgrind, ...),
the option --redzone-size=<number> allows to control the padding
blocks (redzones) added before and after each client allocated block.
Smaller redzones decrease the memory needed by Valgrind. Bigger
redzones increase the chance to detect blocks overrun or underrun.

During investigations of 303963, Josef found that flags are not always
up to date and that --vex-guest-max-insns=1 ensures flags values
are (more?) correct.
=> enhance the paragraph in the gdbserver limitations to reference
this option and give an idea of the performance impact of the other
options helping to increase the precision of registers and flags.

WRT the memcheck test: the good news is we get all the complaints
we want. The bad news is:
- the line numbers from within do_cu21 are off
- there are 2 complaints when attempting to convert from
an uninitialised input buffer instead of one. One of them has a
completely bogus line number.
Possibly due to bad debug info? Let's see what happens on machines
with more recent GCCs.

* when cond var is destroyed, in the PRE, report an error if nwaiters > 0.
* when cond_wait succeeds, get the cond var but do not create one in helgrind
(it must exist if cond_wait was done).
Report an error if cond not found (assuming this is caused by a destroy
done while the thread was cond_wait-ing).
* added a test

User is supposed to mark the superblock(s) of a mempool as noaccess.
As Valgrind objective is to find bugs for users which are doing bugs, let's even
find (some) bugs if the user has a bug in the bug detection code.

Allow Valgrind to run on android emulator.
+ added README.android_emulator giving some details about versions used.

because I don't think we want to report those.
Moved some more from 3_7_BUGSTATUS to NEWS because they are marked as FIXED
in Bugzilla.

Note: a paragraph in PLATFORM CHANGES section of NEWS indicating
the addition of the MIPS port (and some details) would be good
(as this is a major change).

This limit is large enough for all practical purposes. It exists
only to sanity check the value specified with --num-callers.
Be frugal in record_ExeContext_wrk and only allocate on the stack
as many frames as needed.
Testcase included.

This implies to change the interface between the
arch independent gdbserver files and the arch dependent files
as AVX implies a choice of xml files at run time.
In valgrind-low-amd64.c, the xml files and the nr of registers
are different depending on AVX support or not.
Other platforms still have a fully static nr of registers.

* pub_tool_redir.h : define the prefix to be used for "soname synonym"
place holder
* vg_replace_malloc.c : define synonym place holder for malloc related
functions
* m_redir.c : when detecting a soname synonym place holder redir spec, search
in clo_soname_synonyms if there is a synonym pattern.
If yes, replace the soname pattern. If not, ignore the redir spec.
* various files: implement or document the new clo --soname-synonyms
* new test memcheck/tests/static_malloc.vgtest

When investigating Valgrind out of memory situation,
it is useful to be able to output the list of segments of the
aspacemgr at any moment.
The GDB monitor command "v.info memory" has now an optional
argument allowing to output this list of segments
