We first inject empty instrumentation from translator_loop.
After translation, we go through the plugins to see what
they want to register for, filling in the empty instrumentation.
If if turns out that some instrumentation remains unused, we
remove it.
This approach supports the following features:
- Inlining TCG code for simple operations. Note that we do not
export TCG ops to plugins. Instead, we give them a C API to
insert inlined ops. So far we only support adding an immediate
to a u64, e.g. to count events.
- "Direct" callbacks. These are callbacks that do not go via
a helper. Instead, the helper is defined at run-time, so that
the plugin code is directly called from TCG. This makes direct
callbacks as efficient as possible; they are therefore used
for very frequent events, e.g. memory callbacks.
- Passing the host address to memory callbacks. Most of this
is implemented in a later patch though.
- Instrumentation of memory accesses performed from helpers.
See the corresponding comment, as well as a later patch.

We already handle this in the backends, and the lifetime datum
for the TCGOp is already large enough.

Tracked down with an ugly, brittle and probably buggy Perl script.
Also move includes converted to <...> up so they get included before
ours where that's obviously okay.

Rather than special casing them, use the standard mechanisms
for tcg helper generation.

Rather than include helper.h with N values of GEN_HELPER, include a
secondary file that sets up the macros to include helper.h. This
minimizes the files that must be rebuilt when changing the macros
for file N.
