Much to my surprise, I observed a "flash erase_address ..."
command erasing data which I said should not be erased.
The issue turns out to be generic NOR flash code which was
silently, and rather dangerously, morphing partial-sector
references into unrequested whole-sector ones.
This patch removes that low-level morphing. If desired, it
can and should be done in higher level code. (We might need
to fix some stuff in the GDB server code.)

Semihosting enables code running on an ARM target to use the
I/O facilities on the host computer. The target application must
be linked against a library that forwards operation requests by
using the SVC instruction that is trapped at the Supervisor Call
vector by the debugger. The "hosted" library version provided
with CodeSourcery's Sourcery G++ Lite for ARM EABI is one example.
This is currently available for ARM9 processors, but any ARM
variant should be able to support this with little additional work.
Tested using binaries compiled with Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q1-161
and ARM RVCT 3.0.

Add $HOME/.openocd as the first default script search directory, allowing
the user to override the standard scripts.
Update the user guide with information on where OpenOCD expects to find
configuration files and scripts. Also fixed some minor formatting issues.
Add entry to NEWS as well.

Rename the "armv4_5" command prefix to straight "arm" so it makes
more sense for newer cores. Add a simple compatibility script.
Make sure all the commands give the same "not an ARM" diagnostic
message (and fail properly) when called against non-ARM targets.

Now the ARM11 cores can use the renamed arm_checksum_memory()
and arm_blank_check_memory() routines ... do so.
Sanity checked with "flash erase_check" of both NOR banks on an
OMAP2420 ... the algorithm code dumped four lines of of "poll"
status after each of almost 520 blocks (yes, *very* annoying) but
gave plausible results after producing that spam.

There were a few more changes worth mentioning, including support
for more JTAG adapters, boundary scan improvements, another NAND
driver, and the Win64 stuff.

Startup now mostly works, except that the initial target state
is "unknown" ... previously, it refused to even start.
Getting that far required fixing the ircapture value (which
can never have been correct!) and the default JTAG clock rate,
then providing custom reset script.
The "reset" command is still iffy. DCSR updates, and loading
the debug handler, report numerous DR/IR capture failures.
But once that's done, "poll" reports that the CPU is halted
(which it shouldn't be, this was "reset run"!), due to the
rather curious reason "target-not-halted".
Summary: you still can't debug these parts, but it's closer.

This abstracts the "jtag arp_init-reset" call into a method
called from OpenOCD startup and reset processing.
Platforms which have different requirements for how such hard
resets must be performed can now override "init_reset" instead
of needing to rebuild custom hacked versions of the server.
