The current helper flags, TCG_CALL_CONST and TCG_CALL_PURE might be
confusing and doesn't provide enough granularity for some helpers (FP
helpers for example).
This patch changes them into the following helpers flags:
- TCG_CALL_NO_READ_GLOBALS means that the helper does not read globals,
either directly or via an exception. They will not be saved to their
canonical location before calling the helper.
- TCG_CALL_NO_WRITE_GLOBALS means that the helper does not modify any
globals. They will only be saved to their canonical locations before
calling helpers, but they won't be reloaded afterwise.
- TCG_CALL_NO_SIDE_EFFECTS means that the call to the function is
removed if the return value is not used.
It provides convenience flags, to avoid helper definitions longer than
80 characters. It also provides compatibility flags, and updates the
documentation.

Mapping a memory address using a global and accessing it through
ld/st operations is currently broken. As it doesn't make any sense
to do that performance wise, let's forbid that.
Update the TCG documentation, and remove partial support for that.

The TCG jmp operation doesn't really make sense in the QEMU context, it
is unused, it is not implemented by some targets, and it is wrongly
implemented by some others.
This patch simply removes it.

The README file documented the operand ordering of the tcg_gen_*
functions. Since we're documenting opcodes here, use the true
operand ordering.

Expand the note on the number of TCG ops generated per target insn,
to be clearer about the range of applicability of the 20 op rule
of thumb. Also add a note about the hard MAX_OP_PER_INSTR limit.

Some targets (e.g. Alpha and MIPS64) need to keep 32-bit operands
sign-extended in 64-bit registers (regardless of the "real" sign
of the operand). For that, we need to be able to distinguish
between a 32-bit load with a 32-bit result and a 32-bit load with
a given extension to a 64-bit result. This distinction already
exists for the ld* loads, but not the qemu_ld* loads.
Reserve qemu_ld32u for 64-bit outputs and introduce qemu_ld32 for
32-bit outputs. Adjust all code generators to match.

The functions defined in tcg/tcg-op.h have no _i32 or _i64 suffix,
qemu_ld64 and qemu_st64 were missing from the list, and there are
no 'plain' qemu_ld/qemu_st ops.
