Memory Changes (second edition)

[TheThirdOne]

Previously this was #71.

I making this to give me an easy way to review all the changes I make and make any comments that may be useful for future me.

Some potential correctness tests:

• [ ] make memory configurations that are intended to break most of the assumptions about the layout (but still should work)
  • [ ] cross 0x80000000 with a sections
  • [ ] reorder the sections dramatically
  • [ ] really small sections
• [ ] make memory configurations that should fail to test how errors are displayed.
  • [ ] missing sections
  • [ ] overlapping sections
  • [ ] offsets outside the bounds of the related sections
• [ ] Switch between very different sections to make sure that no caching of memory configurations is happening
  • [ ] Swap data and text sections
  • [ ] Move gp and sp bases
• [ ] General GUI regression tests
  • [ ] write programs that would work in the previous RARS and make sure they still do
• [ ] Make sure the CLI option for memory configs works.

TODOS:

• [ ] Wiki page explaning the format for memory configurations

Things to consider for the future:

• [ ] Rework addAsObserver to take a range
• [ ] Make memory selections not just use a list of addresses (#41)

Will data segment window show doublewords (64 bits), instead of words, in 64-bit mode?

It would be great if there is an option to select data sizes (byte, half words, words, doublewords).

@zhijieshi, this PR is almost exclusively about the internals of RARS. Changes to the UI of the data view would be beyond the scope of this PR.
