arch-neutral ones like R_STACK_PTR). Where they were used, we now always talk
about an offset into the Vex guest state, and an offset. As a result,
the shadow register get/set functions had to change. They now also use
an offset and size, and in an arch-neutral way.
Also, I combined the five the post_reg_write* functions into a single one that
takes a 'CorePart' parameter (plus also a ThreadId). Also, I added more
arguments (the CorePart, and the ThreadId) to the post_mem_write event, for
consistency with the pre_mem_* events.
Also, I reduced the number of register names that must be specified by each
arch, by factoring out duplication; and shortened their names for the core (eg.
ARCH_STACK_PTR is now STACK_PTR).
Plus some related minor cleanups in syscall wrappers.

state pointer points directly at the ThreadState.arch.vex field, thus
updating it in place and avoiding a lot of code (and time-wasting)
which copies stuff back and forth to baseBlock.
Fix zillions of other places in the system where the current thread id
is needed. It is now passed to all needed places.

Also remove Memcheck's and Addrcheck's use of syscall_wrappers,
since they didn't do anything useful.

- All memory-related errors are now clear whether they are caused by
unaddressable or uninitialised memory. (Previously, writes were
clearly addressability errors, but reads could be either.) Mostly
done by replacing the 'isWrite' field in MAC_Error with 'isUnaddr'.
Also, mc_check_readable() now indicates not just if an error occurred,
but what kind of error (ie. addressability or definedness).
- Put machinery into place in the core to inform tools when registers
are being read by the core -- ie. a 'pre_reg_read' event. Most
notably, this facilitates syscall scalar arg definedness checking for
Memcheck. Currently this is only working for read(), write(), exit()
and exit_group(), but it will be extended as the syscalls are
overhauled as part of the arch-abstraction work.
A consequence of this is that the ParamErr messages have changed. This:
Syscall param write(buf) contains uninitialised byte(s)
now means that the pointer 'buf' is partially undefined. If the memory
pointed to by 'buf' is partially undefined or unaddressable, it says one of:
Syscall param write(buf) points to uninitialised byte(s)
Syscall param write(buf) points to unaddressable byte(s)
The docs have been updated accordingly.
I also added a couple of regression tests.
These two change sare notable for being the first improvements to
Memcheck's checking/errors in a long time.
I also folded mc_clientreqs.c into mc_main.c, which saves exporting a
whole bunch of things that are not used anywhere else.

This required some tricks with casting to maintain Memcheck's silly (ie.
negative) arg checking. The allocator was also changed accordingly. It
should now be able to allocate more than 4GB blocks on 64-bit platforms.

__attribute((regparm(n))) with REGPARM(n) everywhere. REGPARM() is defined in
vg_skin.h, but will eventually be defined separately for each arch.
