3c7b9b2e03 Changed startup message to give information about skin and core separately.
Added "version" and "copyright_author" fields for skins to supply.

Now startup message looks something like this:

==12698== cachegrind, an I1/D1/L2 cache profiler for x86-linux.
==12698== Copyright (C) 2002, and GNU GPL'd, by Nicholas Nethercote.
==12698== Built with valgrind-HEAD, a program execution monitor.
==12698== Copyright (C) 2000-2002, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward.
==12698== Estimated CPU clock rate is 1422 MHz
==12698== For more details, rerun with: -v

The skin can specify a version number, but the skins that will be distributed
with Valgrind don't.

Also changed "x86 GNU/Linux" to the wicked "x86-linux" at Julian's request.

Updated default regression test filter to handle this new startup message.

----

Also moved the skin's name, description, etc., fields out of VG_(needs) into a
new struct VG_(details), since they are logically quite different to the needs.
Did a little code formatting, etc., for this.  Updated skin docs
correspondingly, too.

Also renamed the need `run_libc_freeres' --> `libc_freeres' so it's a noun
phrase rather than a verb phrase.

089e7e3bcb Updated file descriptions in the copyright notices to reflect the core/skin
split.  Each skin now has its own two-line description.

41a0bcbbbb Changes made so that skin error "report this bug to" messages are distinguished
from core error ones:

  - Split up VG_(panic) into VG_(core_panic) and VG_(skin_panic)

  - Likewise, split vg_assert into vg_assert and sk_assert

  - Added a new need string: `bug_reports_to'

  - Removed VG_(skin_error) which was a previous wussy attempt at this change.
    This removed the need for the hacky redeclaration of VG_(skin_error) in
    vg_profile.c, which is good.

At the moment, Julian and Nick's email addresses are hard-coded into each skin
individually, rather than using a #define in vg_skin.h, because that didn't
feel quite right to me...  jseward@acm.org is still done with a #define for
core errors, though.

ad2f86232e Added some reasonably thorough documentation on how to write skins. Also added
an example skin which is referred to in the documentation, and is designed to
be a template which can be copied.
