Here is the first fix to mem_write() again. This is simply to have it return when len == 0 and that solves my issues with reading at the end of a file when the remaining data is not an even multiple of 4 bytes.

I have also recognized that this function will overwrite target data that is shouldn't if it is ever called with a non-zero length and either the address or length is not a multiple of 4. I don't know if that situation will ever occur, it does not happen in my limited uses (so far :-) ). I have added some comments with possible ways to address that issue.

of a file.  fread (on stm32) get them (say 3 bytes), then askes for
more.  do_semihosting gets a read return of 0 and tries to write that.
mem_write alters the address to be aligned and overwrites then 3 bytes
from the last read.

This change simply tells mem_write to do nothing if len is 0.
Add more comments on further possible issues and ways to handle them.
Using a branch to separate this change from others as it may need
more discussion and go on for a while...
Fixes to SYS_READ changes in PR stlink-org#727 per review. (stlink-org#729)
and the compiler should be fine with that without any cast.

This is a good fix, checking before calculation is always a good idea to not go beyond boundaries. Thanks!
