This requires minimal changes to the runtime hooks. In particular,
synchronization events must be done only on valid addresses now,
so I've added the additional checks to race.c.

Afterprologue check was required when did not know
about return arguments of functions and/or they were not zeroed.
Now 100% precision is required for stacks due to stack copying,
so it must work w/o afterprologue one way or another.
I can limit this change for 1.3 to merely adding a TODO,
but this check is super confusing so I don't want this knowledge to get lost.

genericReplacer.lookup is called for each byte of an input
string. In many (most?) cases, lookup will fail for the first
byte, and it will return immediately. Adding a fast path for
that case seems worth it.

Using flet to replace kill-region with delete-region was a hack,
flet is now (GNU Emacs 24.3) deprecated and at least two people
have reported an issue where using go--delete-whole-line would
permanently break their kill ring. While that issue is probably
caused by faulty third party code (possibly prelude), it's easier
to write a clean implementation than to tweak the hack.
