The new storage (MetaMap) is based on direct shadow (instead of a hashmap + per-block lists).
This solves a number of problems:
- eliminates quadratic behaviour in SyncTab::GetAndLock (https://code.google.com/p/thread-sanitizer/issues/detail?id=26)
- eliminates contention in SyncTab
- eliminates contention in internal allocator during allocation of sync objects
- removes a bunch of ad-hoc code in java interface
- reduces java shadow from 2x to 1/2x
- allows to memorize heap block meta info for Java and Go
- allows to cleanup sync object meta info for Go
- which in turn enabled deadlock detector for Go

This is intended to address the following problem.
Episodically we see CHECK-failures when recursive interceptors call back into user code. Effectively we are not "in_rtl" at this point, but it's very complicated and fragile to properly maintain in_rtl property. Instead get rid of it. It was used mostly for sanity CHECKs, which basically never uncover real problems.
Instead introduce ignore_interceptors flag, which is used in very few narrow places to disable recursive interceptors (e.g. during runtime initialization).

Status:
The tool is known to work on large real-life applications, but still has quite a few rough edges.
Nothing is guaranteed yet.
The tool works on x86_64 Linux.
Support for 64-bit MacOS 10.7+ is planned for late 2012.
Support for 32-bit OSes is doable, but problematic and not yet planed.
Further commits coming:
- tests
- makefiles
- documentation
- clang driver patch
