Subject: [PATCH 1/7] tools-interface: Remove project DLL base address
 information

* sources/project-manager/tools-interface/project-files.dylan
  (<project-information>): Remove the project-information-base-address
   slot definition.
  (write-project-to-stream): Do not write the project base address
   when saving a project.
  (read-project-from-stream): Do not interpret the base-address:
   keyword from project sources.

Subject: [PATCH 2/7] project-manager: Do not default project DLL base
 addresses

Previously the project-manager would attempt to compute a base address
that would allow Windows to load the full set of DLLs in a project
without relocations. However, current versions of Windows (starting
with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008) implement Address Space
Layout Randomization for improved security, so that the link-time base
addresses are no longer meaningful.

* sources/project-manager/user-projects/save-project.dylan
  (save-lid-info): Do not compute a default base address when saving.
  ($top-for-user-libraries, $allowance-for-user-libraries,
   library-base, compute-base-address): Remove.

Subject: [PATCH 3/7] environment-tools: Remove the base address from project
 settings

The DLL base address is no longer a useful project setting, so it can
be removed from the IDE project link settings page.

* sources/environment/tools/project-settings.dylan
  (<link-settings-page>): Remove %base-address slot.
   Remove %base-address-pane pane definition. Remove Base address
   grouping from layout.
  (<project-settings-dialog>): Remove base-address initializer
   from the <link-settings-page> construction.
  (update-project-settings): Remove update of project-base-address
   from the <link-settings-page>.
  (valid-project-settings?): Remove validation of the
   <link-settings-page> base-address.
