[1/4] Implemement support for groups of syscalls in the xml-syscall interface.

  This implements support for groups of syscalls in the xml-syscall
interface.

It is done by maintaining a list of syscall_group_desc for each syscall
group inside the syscalls_info structure.  Inside each
syscall_group_desc we have a vector of pointers to the syscalls that are
part of that group.

I also experimented with storing the group info inside each syscall_desc
element, but that wasn't very practical when dealing with syscalls that
are part of more than one group. :)

	syscall element.

Thanks for the patch.  It looks very good now.  I have only a few
comments, just nitpicking.

I know the whole xml-syscall.c file does not obey this rule, but every
new function should have a comment describing it.

It is annoying, but we try to write comments using the imperative
language.  Therefore, we use "Return a pointer..." instead of "Returns a
pointer...".  Anyway, this is just a very minor nit, but I myself was
corrected about it before :-).

This should use explicit comparison, i.e., "group != NULL".

Instead of duplicating the comment for the function here, you could say
"See comment in xml-syscall.h".

And here, you could explicitly mention that the list returned is
dinamically allocated and should be freed by the caller.

Otherwise, the patch looks good to me (I am not the maintainer of this
portion of the code).
