save/restore functions

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
- new display library option "windebug" enables the new feature

* get_sr_root() returns the list with the save/restore subtree
- for the BrowseDir() function Bochs for win32 needs to be linked with SHELL32.DLL
(currently used for the save/restore support only)
- save/restore support symbol name changed

complete and stable)
parameters of the wx debugger possible

- wx: ParamDialog can currently handle only dependency lists of bool parameters
correctly (TODO: add support for numeric parameters)
- disable usb options if not compiled with usb support
- usb and network dependency list created with menu->clone()
- load usb plugin only if at least one hub is present
- remaining options prepared for rewrite
- proposed parameter tree updated
- bx_init_options(): local variables cleanup
- hide floppy devtype parameter (floppy media type change support not yet complete)

wx are present)

* removed obsolete BXP_* constants in siminterface.h
* updated proposed parameter tree
- constant BX_N_OPTRAM_IMAGES for optional RAM images limit added
(no notify handler registered). The ask() function doesn't set the variable
bx_user_quit to 1 in that case. This prevents win32 from closing the console
window immediately in case of a bochsrc error.
(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
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.

- wxdialog.cc: tab window now uses the label instead of the ask format if defined
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
