Philippe Waroquiers 6b5a479bda Fix 353891 Assert 'bad_scanned_addr < VG_ROUNDDN(start+len, sizeof(Addr))' failed
All memory dereferences during leak search are checked either with
aspacemgr or using the VA-bits.
So, in theory, no memory fault should occur.
However, the leak search is done so as to resist to e.g.
- desynchronisation between the real pages mapped and the aspacemgr state.
- client pages mprotected against reading
- any other reason why dereferencing a client address would fail.

So, the function lc_scan_memory installs a fault catcher that
is called if a memory fault signal is raised during memory scan.
However, memory dereference is also done in the function heuristic_reachedness.
So, this function must also resist to memory fault.

This patch also installs a fault catcher for the function heuristic_reachedness.

More in details, the following changes are done:
* pub_tool_signal.h and m_signals.c :
  VG_(set_fault_catcher) now returns the previously set fault catcher.
  This is needed so that heuristic_reachedness/lc_scan_memory can save
  and restore the previous fault catcher.

* mc_leakcheck.c:
  Addition of leak_search_fault_catcher that contains the common
  code for the (currently 2) fault catchers used during leak search.

* Modification of heuristic_reachedness and lc_scan_memory:
  Add 2 (small) specific fault catcher that are calling the common
  leak_search_fault_catcher.

* The way sigprocmask is handled has been changed:
  Before this patch, lc_scan_memory was saving/restoring the procsigmask
  for each scanned block (and was restoring it when the fault catcher
  was longjmp-ing back to lc_scan_memory in case of SEGV or BUS.
  This was causing 2 system calls for each block scanned.

  Now, lc_scan_memory and  heuristic_reachedness are not saving/restoring
  the procmask: the work to reset the sigprocmask is only done
  in leak_search_fault_catcher. This is more efficient as no syscall
  anymore is done during leak search, except for (normally) unfrequent
  SIGSEGV/BUS. It is also simpler as signal handling is now done at
  a single place.
  
  It is ok to reset the procmask (in fact, just remove the caught signal
  from the process sigmask) as during leak search, no other activity than
  the leak search is on-going, and so no other SEGV/BUS can be received
  while the handler runs.

This gives moderate speed improvements for applications allocating a lot of
blocks (about 10% improvement when leak searching in 1 million small blocks).

Test case (slightly modified) by Matthias Schwarzott.
