Make save/restore default feature, the configure option for save/restore removed from configure script and save/restore made available forever. All code now assume it is exists. Bochs save/restore tree previosly called "save_restore" renamed to "bochs" tree and it will be havily used everywhere, starting from save/restore and ending by various bochs debugger functions. I am going to rework debugger code to get rid of debug CPU access functions and use this "bochs" param tree instead
- removed obsolete structures and members from the USB code
- removed mouse type 'usb' (USB mouse and tablet override selected mouse type
when connected)
- user doc: mention vmware 4 disk image support
string. This is better for devices that need to know all it's options when
connecting to the port. Device name and option should be separated with a
colon. The USB device 'disk' now uses this format ('disk:usbdisk.img).
- the pciusb plugin must be linked with cdrom.o
changed after initializing the config interface
- PARAM_TREE.txt updated and cleaned up (TODO: improve developer documentation
and get rid of this file)
2. In init.cc save and restore BX_CPU_THIS__PTR trace value, allows to enable/disable tracing using save/restore.
3. in iret.cc - cleanup3. in iret.cc - cleanup3. in iret.cc - cleanup
- for the BrowseDir() function Bochs for win32 needs to be linked with SHELL32.DLL
(currently used for the save/restore support only)

* updated proposed parameter tree
- constant BX_N_OPTRAM_IMAGES for optional RAM images limit added
(it was only present in bochsrc parser)
- floppy media type is now a runtime parameter (TODO: full media type support
needs some work in the floppy emulation code)
- floppy media type added to win32 floppy dialog
- missing reset of PCI slot options added
- parsing of i440fxsupport config line rewritten
- vga_update_interval default value changed to 40000 and docs updated
- some more documentation updated including default values for some bochsrc options
number of steps to do, the step rate time and the date rate
- the option floppy_command_delay is obsolete now, since all floppy delays are
based on the hardware specs. The usage of this option caused a warning now.
optromimage. You can load up to 4 arbitrary binary images into RAM.
I didn't do any checking on the addresses, so it's up to you to make
sure they don't collide with anything else. Should only be used for
placing files into standard RAM.
- usage of old-style syntax for 'user_shortcut' now causes a warning
- deprecated options 'pit' and 'time0' now cause an error
- old disk options completely removed from bochsrc parser
- documentation changes: 'pit' and 'time0' removed, 'user_shortcut' updated
- sense code ASC_ILLEGAL_OPCODE added for unimplemented/unknown ATAPI commands
- some panics changed to errors
- unsupported bits message in drive and head register changed to BX_DEBUG
- improved info about not existing drive

- report time0 in use after handling the cmos image stuff
- MSVC warning fixed
images created with bximage (heads = 16, sectors per track = 63)
- size check for 'flat' hard disk images added. The image size is now compared
with the size calculated from the geometry.
dummy interface are now disabled if the extension isn't set to "vbe"

- config parser code for ne2k and pnic now working the same way
- ne2k enable option now present in config menu / dialog
- added emulation of the PS/2 mouse port without a mouse connected (some OS's
still detect a mouse)
- fixes for the mouse type 'serial_wheel' (the wheel still doesn't work in Win98)
#1079240 by Ben Lunt. There are still some problems:
- PS/2 mouse is always present (some code to emulate a disconnected mouse needed)
- PS/2 wheel mouse doesn't work properly
- serial wheel mouse detected as a standard mouse and doesn't work at all
- textconfig now supports lists in a list
- network configuration divided in two menus / groupboxes
- ips setting now belongs to the clock menu / dialog

(without 'file=...") is still supported.
- load order for the rom images fixed (system, vga, other)
- rom images sizes not multiple 512 cause a BX_INFO for now. The original check
will be enabled after updating the vgabios files
- optromimage error messages fixed
- some updates of the bochsrc sample
data written to the port and where to get the data read from it. Available
modes are 'null' (no input/output), 'file' (output to a file specified as
the 'dev' parameter), 'term' (serial terminal) and 'raw' (use the real serial
port - under construction for win32).
- descriptions for serial and parallel options in bochsrc sample updated
* up to 5 slots can be specified with the 'i440fxsupport' config option
* the pci slot number are hardwired to pci device numbers
* the 'devfunc' value is returned the calling device (useful for multi-function
devices)
* the core of the i440FX chipset is hardwired to pci device 1 + 2; usb is still
optional and appears at device 1, function 2
- ne2k: enable pci features if connected to a pci slot
- ne2k: asic data port supports 32-bit access if ne2k-pci is active

bochs.h already not include iodev.h which reduces compilation dependences for almost all cpu and fpu files, now cpu files will not be recompiled if iodev includes was changed
