Dr. Memory Framework: combine all the drmem-based DR Extensions

We currently have 4 DR Extensions that we plan to leave in the Dr. Memory repository:

• DrSyscall = issue #822 + DrCallstack = issue #823 + DrMalloc = issue #824 + Umbra = issue #825 My proposal is to have them all share the same versioning scheme and packaging. We could package up DynamoRIO with them for one-stop shopping.

Xref various discussions involving DrSyscall for file layout and top-level design. Xref DRi#949 for 3rd-party extension support via find_package() to better support bundles of Extensions like this.

This issue covers adding the skeleton framework for the DRMF.

the initial framework is in place for DrSyscall and we're adding Umbra, but use outside drmem's own tests and packaging decisions are not yet flushed out. also xref issue #1105 .

the new proposal is to package up DRMF inside of each official DR release package, rather than the other way around. DR already contains LGPL ext/ libs (drwrap, drutil).

We plan to add .drrun native frontend support ( https://code.google.com/p/dynamorio/issues/detail?id=1329 ) so that we can avoid duplicating the DR libs in this combined package.

There are a number of fixes to get the combined DR + DMRF + Dr. Memory package to be usable. Here are some of the recent ones: r2028 = Remove patchlevel from .so version names r2027 = Add support for multiple cacheappend args to allow specifying both the Dr. Memory and DRMF versions in a combined build r2026 = DRi#1509: generate a list of tools for drrun usage messages r2025 = Update install docs for combined local install r2023 = Add a top-level DrMemory.html redirect file r2013 = Create drrun files for -t support r2012 = Fix broken rpath by creating a symlink .. dynamorio inside drmemory subdir

And in DR:

DRr2769 = For drrun -t, name the bitwidth of an unfound tool file

DRr2768 = DRi#1509: have drrun list available tools

DRr2767 = Add the DRMF Extensions to the list of Extensions in the documentation. Add the Dr. Memory tools to the list of DynamoRIO-based tools.

Split out issue #1609 as it's more involved than the docs combination so far, and we are unlikely to get to it in the short-term.
