Pedro Alves d09f2c3fc1 target_read_memory&co: no longer return target_xfer_status
Years ago, these functions used to return errno/EIO.  Later, through a
series of changes that intended to remove native/remote differences,
they ended up returning a target_xfer_status in disguise.

Unlike target_xfer_partial&co, the point of target_read_memory&co is
to either fully succeed or fail.  On error, they always return
TARGET_XFER_E_IO.  So there's no real point in casting the return of
target_read_memory to a target_xfer_status to pass it to memory_error.
Instead, it results in clearer code to simply decouple
target_read_memory&co's return from target_xfer_status.

This fixes build errors like this in C++ mode:

 ../../src/gdb/corefile.c: In function ‘void read_stack(CORE_ADDR, gdb_byte*, ssize_t)’:
 ../../src/gdb/corefile.c:276:34: error: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘target_xfer_status’ [-fpermissive]
      memory_error (status, memaddr);
				   ^
 ../../src/gdb/corefile.c:216:1: error:   initializing argument 1 of ‘void memory_error(target_xfer_status, CORE_ADDR)’ [-fpermissive]

gdb/ChangeLog:

	memory_error.
	* corefile.c (read_stack, read_code, write_memory): Always pass
	TARGET_XFER_E_IO to memory_error.
	* disasm.c (dis_asm_memory_error): Always pass TARGET_XFER_E_IO to
	memory_error.  Rename parameter 'status' to 'err'.
	(dump_insns): Rename local 'status' to 'err'.
	* mips-tdep.c (mips_fetch_instruction): Rename parameter 'statusp'
	to 'errp'.  Rename local 'status' to 'err'.  Always pass

README

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
