Allow memcheck to take account of VGA_STACK_REDZONE_SIZE -- that is,
account for the fact that on amd64 (really, on amd64-linux) the area
up to 128 bytes below the stack pointer is accessible. This meant
moving the definitions of VGA_STACK_REDZONE_SIZE to tool-visible
places.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If a thread is given an initial stack with address range [lo .. hi],
+we need to tell memcheck that the area [lo - VGA_STACK_REDZONE_SIZE
+.. hi] is valid, rather than just [lo .. hi] as has been the case on
+x86-only systems. However, am not sure where to look for the
+call into memcheck that states the new stack area.

* get rid of memcheck/mc_asm.h and include/tool_asm.h. I think
