78505279665e64d28e4a308818b69e6f77ecc5d2 tcg: rework TCG helper flags
The current helper flags, TCG_CALL_CONST and TCG_CALL_PURE might be
confusing and doesn't provide enough granularity for some helpers (FP
helpers for example).
This patch changes them into the following helpers flags:
- TCG_CALL_NO_READ_GLOBALS means that the helper does not read globals,
either directly or via an exception. They will not be saved to their
canonical location before calling the helper.
- TCG_CALL_NO_WRITE_GLOBALS means that the helper does not modify any
globals. They will only be saved to their canonical locations before
calling helpers, but they won't be reloaded afterwise.
- TCG_CALL_NO_SIDE_EFFECTS means that the call to the function is
removed if the return value is not used.
It provides convenience flags, to avoid helper definitions longer than
80 characters. It also provides compatibility flags, and updates the
documentation.
