[RFC] s/PTRACE_ARG3_TYPE/PTRACE_TYPE_ARG3/g ?

- Subject: [RFC] s/PTRACE_ARG3_TYPE/PTRACE_TYPE_ARG3/g ?
configure now automatically detects the type of arg3 in ptrace,
and sets PTRACE_TYPE_ARG3. But the code mostly uses the historical
PTRACE_ARG3_TYPE. I suggest we do a global search-and-replace of
the latter by the former. There are a bunch of C file that use
the old macro. Once the macro is gone, we can delete their definitions
in the config files as an obvious change.
Opinions?
List of C files that use it:

Unfortunately, I will probably not be around to make that change.
But this is the kind of change a guy named cagney has become an expert
at doing. :-).
And we also need to remove it from the gdbint doc, btw.
