Function libraries and tools updated

Was using your great collection of test programs for microbenchmarking, really useful. Especially pmctest and timingtest.

At first stage was getting random negative readings of PMCs but then figured out that sometimes my code fragment migrates to another core and PMC readings get inconsistent, causing jumpy and misleading results, so adding notice on affinity setting and cross-core thread migration to "7.23 Why do I get negative counts?" may be helpful for people getting similar issues.
