set/show code-cache
Similar to stack cache, in this patch, we add
TARGET_OBJECT_CODE_MEMORY to read code from target and add a new
option "set code-cache on|off" to optimize code accesses by
using the target memory cache.
In V4:
- Remove "without affecting correctness" from NEWS and doc.
- Replace "ON" with "on" in doc.
- "access" -> "accesses".
In V3:
- Rename functions and variables.
- Update command help, doc and NEWS entry.
- Invalidate cache on option transitions, to align with
the behaviour of "stack-cache". Since cache invalidation is
transparent to users, users don't know option "stack-cache"
transitions cause code cache invalidation.
V2 was reviewed by Doug. There are some changes in V3, so I post it
here.
