Capture various bits of useful information that have come up on the
list but haven't yet gotten into the documentation:
- Watchdog timers firing during JTAG debug need attention;
- Some chips have special registers to help JTAG debug;
- Cortex-M3 stepping example with IRQs and maskisr;
- Clarifications re adaptive clocking: not all ARMs do it, and
explain it a bit better.

Add a NOR flash mechanism where erase_address ranges can be padded
out to sector boundaries, triggering a diagnostic:
> flash erase_address 0x0001f980 16
address range 0x0001f980 .. 0x0001f98f is not sector-aligned
Command handler execution failed
in procedure 'flash' called at file "command.c", line 647
called at file "command.c", line 361

> flash erase_address pad 0x0001f980 16
Adding extra erase range, 0x0001f800 to 0x0001f97f
Adding extra erase range, 0x0001f990 to 0x0001fbff

This addresses what would otherwise be something of a functional
regression. An earlier version of the interface had a dangerous
problem: it would silently erase data outside the range it was
told to erase. Fixing that bug turned up some folk who relied on
that unsafe behavior. (The classic problem with interface bugs!)
Now they can get that behavior again. If they really need it,
just specify "pad".

This updates three aspects of debugger/exception interactions:
- Save the user's "vector_catch" setting, and restore it after reset.
Previously, it was obliterated (rather annoyingly) each time.
- Don't catch BusFault and HardFault exceptions unless the user says
to do so. Target firmware may need to handle them.
- Don't modify SHCSR to prevent escalating BusFault to HardFault.
Target firmware may expect to handle it as a HardFault.
Those simplifications fix several bugs. In one annoying case, OpenOCD
would cause the target to lock up on ome faults which triggered after
the debugger disconnected.
NOTE: a known remaining issue is that OpenOCD can still leave DEMCR
set after an otherwise-clean OpenOCD shutdown.

DCC downloads should be enabled for any self repecting

Allow targets to run checks post reset. Used to check
that e.g. DCC downloads have been enabled.

It looks like a bugfix from normal breakpoints was not
copied over.
Do not use clever mathematics and assumptions to convert from
GDB enum for break/watchpoints to OpenOCD enum.
Drop connection upon unknown breakpoint type, this code path
was not really considered by the previous code I think.

Added interface config file for JTAG/RS232 debug board originally
integrated to Neo 1973 and Neo FreeRunner phones.
Adapter was tested with i.MX31, S3C2410 and AT91SAM9260 processors.

Use correct tcl syntax to throw exception.

Add file comments to a few files. Make the GDB server use
more conventional (pointer-free) hex digit conversion.

The usual: expand several helptexts to be more correct and to use
full sentences; make the usage messages use the same EBNF as the
User's Guide; use function names for their addresses.
Also add a comment about that odd jtag_command_handlers_to_move[] thing.

Both: use the uniform EBNF for usage, bugfix helptexts, use function
name as its address not "&name".

The "parport_port" commands generally don't *require* a port_number;
they're of the "apply any parameter, then print result" variety. Update
the User's Guide accordingly.
Some of those commands are intended to be write-once: parport_port,
and parport_cable. Say so.
Use proper EBNF for the parport_write_on_exit parameter.
Parport address 0xc8b8 is evidently mutant. Say so in the "parport.cfg"
file, to avoid breaking anyone with that mutant config. But update the
User's Guide to include a sane example for the LP2 port.
Finally document the "presto_serial" command.

Make "usage" messages use the same EBNF as the User's Guide;
no angle brackets. Improve and correct various helptexts.
Don't use "&function"; a function's name is its address.
Fix some whitespace glitches, shrink a few overlong lines.
