    tcg: rework TCG helper flags · 78505279

    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.
