Julian Seward 739bc05601 gdbserver: misc fixes (#214909 c 77)
Fix some tests on ppc-debian6,s390x + handled Nick Nethercote, Josef
Weidendorfer comments

* improved testing & related doc
  - added option --vex-iropt-precise-memory-exns=yes to mcsig(no)pass.vgtest
    + updated manual-core.xml
  - cleanup some comments in *.vgtest 
  - modified filter_gdb and filter_memcheck_monitor to
    handle specific ppc/debian6.0 mcsig(no)pass output
    handle specific s390x 'missing debug info'
  - added more information in README_DEVELOPPERS on how to
    investigate failing gdbserver tests.

* handled Nick Nethercote comment:
  Replaced kludgy ms.snapshot detailed
              by  ms.detailed_snaphot
  Updated documentation and test.

* handled Josef Weindendorfer comments:
   - do not report an error if ptrace_scope file can't be read.
     Instead, a debug trace is done if -d (debug) option given
   - added an option -l to give the list of active Valgrind
     gdbserver. Useful a.o. to support callgrind_control.
     Updated documentation
   - added ref. to  vgdb help in the vgdb --help message
