Move various embedded target structs to the beginnings of
their containers ... pretty much the way C++ or Obj-C
would for single inheritance.
This shrinks code that accesses those embedded structs by
letting common offsets use smaller instructions. Sample
before/after sizes (on amd64):
17181 312 0 17493 4455 arm920t.o
16810 312 0 17122 42e2 arm920t.o
Where the "after" is the smaller number, with this patch
over the ones leveraging that embedding knowledge.

Provide a cleaner way to handle single inheritance of targets
in C, using the same model Linux does: structs containing other
structs, un-nested via calls to a "container_of()" macro that
are packaged in typesafe inline functions.
Targets already use this containment idiom, but make it much
more complicated because they un-nest using embedded "void *"
pointers ... in chains of up to five per target, which is all
pure needless complication. (Example: arm92x core, arm9tdmi,
arm7_9, armv4_5 ... on top of the base "target" class.)
Applying this scheme consistently simplifies things, and gets
rid of many error-prone untyped pointers. It won't change any
part of the type model though -- it just simplifies things.
(And facilitates more cleanup later on.)
Rule of thumb: where there's an X->arch_info void* pointer,
access to that pointer can and should be removed. It may be
convenient to set up pointers to some of the embedded structs;
and shrink their current "*_common" names (annoyingly long).

- added arch_state to show status of currently selected target
- simplified target->type->arch_state() api.
- clean up telnet output a bit
- fixed GDB output for arch_state
- removed a couple of unecessary exit()'s
- cleaned up error propagation a bit in a few places
