RFC: Target memory overhaul


The original goal of this patch was to add a write function which supported
progress callbacks, but in the process of doing so I needed to do some
serious cleanup.  This patch deletes three more global functions which
could be used to access memory (do_xfer_memory, target_read_memory_partial,
target_write_memory_partial), and turns two more into wrappers for
other newer functions (target_read_memory, target_write_memory).  It
also fixes up the dcache and trust-readonly-sections code, which was
getting quite mildewed.

The old model was quite confusing, and for targets which defined
to_xfer_partial, prone to not doing much.  The new model is fairly
simple: everything is centralized through target_xfer_partial.
All of the various target_* functions which cause a transfer to happen call
that function.  None of the underlying to_xfer_partial implementations
call it (they call other to_xfer_partial functions directly using
ops->beneath).

I had to introduce TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY, for the dcache to use.
This bypasses things like trust-readonly-sections.

And in the end, I have this:

+/* Similar to target_write, except that it also calls PROGRESS
+   with the number of bytes written and the opaque BATON after
+   every partial write.  This is useful for progress reporting
+   and user interaction while writing data.  To abort the transfer,
+   the progress callback can throw an exception.  */
+LONGEST target_write_with_progress (struct target_ops *ops,
+				    enum target_object object,
+				    const char *annex, const gdb_byte *buf,
+				    ULONGEST offset, LONGEST len,
+				    void (*progress) (ULONGEST, void *),
+				    void *baton);

It's not beautiful, but it's the simplest I could make it; it works exactly
the same way for all objects, including memory (although the dcache will
confuse the bytes-per-write measurement somewhat - and still be slow on
large writes - if anyone's interested in reviving that it's going to take a
little doing); and the resulting code in symfile.c is pretty nice.
And two more partial transfer interfaces are gone.

Any comments on this patch?  I've tested it on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu;
if anyone would like parts of it done differently, please let me
know, or I'll commit it in a week or so.
