Stop using errno values around target_xfer interfaces and memory errors.

target_read_memory & friends build on top of target_read (thus on top
of the target_xfer machinery), but turn all errors to EIO, an errno
value.  I think we'd better convert all these to return a
target_xfer_error too, like target_xfer_partial in a previous patch.
The patch starts by doing that.

(The patch does not add a enum target_xfer_error value for '0'/no
error, and likewise does not change the return type of several of
these functions to enum target_xfer_error, because different functions
return '0' with different semantics.)

I audited the tree for memory_error calls, EIO checks, places where
GDB hardcodes 'errno = EIO', and also for strerror calls.  What I
found is that nowadays there's really no need to handle random errno
values, other than the EIOs gdb itself hardcodes.  No doubt errno
values would appear in common code back in the day when
target_xfer_memory was the main interface to access memory, but
nowadays, any errno value that deprecated interface could return is
just absorved by default_xfer_partial:

      else if (xfered == 0 && errno == 0)
	/* "deprecated_xfer_memory" uses 0, cross checked against
           ERRNO as one indication of an error.  */
	return 0;
      else
	return -1;

There are two places in the code that check for EIO and print "out of
bounds", and defer to strerror for other errors.  That's
c-lang.c:c_get_string, and valprint.c.:val_print_string.  AFAICT, the
strerror branch can never be reached nowadays, as the only error
possible to get at those points is EIO, given that it's GDB itself
that set that errno value (in target_read_memory, etc.).

breakpoint.c:insert_bp_location always prints the error val as if an
errno, returned by target_insert_breakpoint, with strerr.  Now the
error here is either always EIO for mem-break.c targets (again
hardcoded by the target_read_memory/target_write_memory functions), so
this always prints "Input/output error" or similar (depending on
host), or, for remote targets (and probably others), this gem:

  Error accessing memory address 0x80200400: Unknown error -1.

This patch makes these 3 places print the exact same error
memory_error prints.  This changes output, but I think this is better,
for making memory error output consistent with other commands, and, it
means we have a central place to tweak for memory errors.

E.g., this changes:

 Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
 Error accessing memory address 0x5fc660: Input/output error.

to:

 Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
 Cannot access memory at address 0x5fc660

Which I find pretty much acceptable.

Surprisingly, only py-prettyprint.exp had a regression, for needing an
adjustment.  I also grepped the testsuite for the old errors, and
found no other hits.

Now that errno values aren't used anywhere in any of these memory
access related routines, I made memory_error itself take a
target_xfer_error instead of an errno.  The new
target_xfer_memory_error function added recently is no longer
necessary, and is thus removed.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native and gdbserver.
