dbcea71779 More docs build tweaks:
- Actually remove the dead docs/images/massif*.png files (this was meant to
  happen in r10720).

- Inline $TOOL/docs/Makefile.am into $TOOL/Makefile.am for all 10 tools.  10
  fewer Makefile.am files FTW!

109043c349 - Rejigged Lackey's manual
- Made it count calls to main() by default, since _dl_runtime_resolve() no
  longer appears to exist.
- A couple of other minor Lackey things.

ac7761261a We currently use a mix of <option> and <computeroutput> tags for command
line options.  This commit changes them to all <option>.

Also make consistent how options with multiple names (eg. -h --help) are
shown.

Also, remove section describing --help and --version in Callgrind's chapter;
these aren't necessary and are presumably a hangover from when Callgrind was
a separate tool.

78b2e5c83e Started overhauling the documentation:
- There were detailed descriptions of all the tools in the Quick Start
  Guide, the Manual introduction, and the start of each tool chapter.  To
  avoid duplication/overlap, I removed these altogether from the Quick Start
  Guide, and shortened them in the intro.

- Improved the description of what errors Memcheck can find.

- Made all tool chapters start with "Overview" section, for consistency.

- Made the "run with --tool=XXX" bit consistent in each tool chapter.

- Made all tool chapter titles match the description given when running them.

- Added BBV to the User Manual intro.

- Generally clarified, updated, and future-proofed various bits of text in
  the Quick Start Guide and User Manual introduction. 

Also:
- Changed Nulgrind's start-up description to "the minimal Valgrind tool".

- Fixed some punctuation in the usage message.

b91b51b42b Merge (from 3.2 branch) r6743 (Edit the manual to bring it up to date
and make some of the wording a bit more professional sounding.)

stuff along with it, such as the NEWS file.

e3fc627c16 Add a --trace-mem option to Lackey to print out a memory access trace, if
only so people will stop asking how to do it.

7a75a9f583 Overhauled the docs. Removed all the HTML files, put in XML files as
converted by Donna.  Hooked it into the build system so they are only
built when specifically asked for, and when doing "make dist".

They're not perfect;  in particular, there are the following problems:
- The plain-text FAQ should be built from FAQ.xml, but this is not
  currently done.  (The text FAQ has been left in for now.)

- The PS/PDF building doesn't work -- it fails with an incomprehensible
  error message which I haven't yet deciphered.

Nonetheless, I'm putting it in so others can see it.

0db27515b1 Putting "dist_" in front of a "_DATA" variable means it is included in "make
dist".  This avoids the need to put it in "EXTRA_DIST", and saves a few lines
in all the docs Makefile.am files.

fb2d543ee8 Started to rescind the name "skin", replacing it with "tool". Did this in all
the places that normal users will see:

  - command line: --tool=foo (although --skin=foo still works)
  - docs: removed all traces (included renaming coregrind_skins.html to
    coregrind_tools.html)
  - in the usage messages
  - in error messages

Also did in in some places that I judged were unlikely to cause clashes with
existing workspaces:

  - in the header comments of many files (eg. "This file is part of Memcheck, a
    Valgrind tool for...")
  - in the regtests script
  - in the .supp files
  - in AUTHORS
  - in README_MISSING_SYSCALL_OR_IOCTL

Also update the AUTHORS file to mention Jeremy.

5fd0ef7ca3 Just call me Mr Brain-Dead Moron. Move the documentation sources to
where I _should_ have put them in the first place, and fix up the
Makefile.am's accordingly.  'make' and 'make install' now work.
