Redo the interface to m_initimg (module for setting up the initial
client image) so it's less of an incomprehensible mess. Basically the
idea is to have two standard functions, VG_(ii_create_image) and
VG_(ii_finalise_image), which communicate using the structure types
IICreateImageInfo and IIFinaliseImageInfo. The types hold various
OS-specific bits of info. A nice side effect is that m_main is tidied
up somewhat.

CFI reader: when decoding the single (address) argument to
DW_CFA_set_loc, take into account any encoding info conveyed by the
augmentation string. See big comment in the code.
Removed the file format description from cg_annotate.in, because it's in the
Cachegrind docs.
Removed the Cachegrind tech docs, because they're so out of date to be
useless. My PhD dissertation gives a much better description of how
Cachegrind works. (I mentioned this in the Cachegrind user manual.) The
only still-useful part of Cachegrind's tech docs, the output file format
description, I moved into the Cachegrind user manual.

Back out 'memtrace' related stuff until status of it is established;
having build system references to it without corresponding sources

When doing rlwinm in 64-bit mode, bind the intermediate 32-bit result
to a temporary so it is only computed once. What's there currently
causes it to be computed twice.

Add a simple script which drives 'kdiff3' through a large source tree

Ensure VG_(tt_fastN) always stays as an array of NULLs if BB profiling
isn't in effect. This should cause the dispatcher to segfault if it
should ever inadvertantly end up running the profiled dispatch loop
when it shouldn't. [The alternative is to run slowly for no apparent
reason.]

Fix all the places where gcc complains about casts from pointers

Minor adjustments to the scheduler, mostly cosmetic.
- rename VG_(kill_thread) to VG_(get_thread_out_of_syscall), which
is what it actually does.
- Remove 'semaphore' terminology in places and use 'lock' instead.
- Give an extra 'HChar* who' arg to VG_(set_running) and
VG_(set_sleeping), which is printed when --trace-sched=yes.
This makes it easier to make sense of lock ownership changes
from the debug output.
- various other improvements to debug printing
- add a kludge to encourage the AIX scheduler to switch threads
more often when more than one is runnable (am not claiming to
understand this); otherwise CPU starvation can appear to happen
- more assertions in sema.c (the pipe-based lock); cycle the token
through 'A' to 'Z' to make strace/truss output more understandable;
fix longstanding bug wherein sema_down() tries to read two bytes
even though sema_up only writes one.
