Vector clocks is the most actively allocated object in tsan runtime.
Current internal allocator is not scalable enough to handle allocation
of clocks in scalable way (too small caches). This changes transforms
clocks to 2-level array with 512-byte blocks. Since all blocks are of
the same size, it's possible to cache them more efficiently in per-thread caches.

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

Make vector clock operations O(1) for several important classes of use cases.
See comments for details.
Below are stats from a large server app, 77% of all clock operations are handled as O(1).

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
