Start runtime trace aids

The runtime is a vvp runtime engine debug aid that allows for
detailed dump into a debug log. The trace is enabled by setting
the VVP_DEBUG variable and activating specific debug messages
in the vvp source.

+DEBUG AIDS FOR VVP
+
+Debuging vvp can be fiendishly difficult, so there are some built in
+debugging aids. These are enabled by setting the environment variable
+VVP_DEBUG to the path to an output file. Then, various detailed debug
+tools can be enabled as described below.
+
+* .resolv
+
+The .resolv can print debug information along with a label by
+specifying the debug output label on the .resolv line:
+
+   .resolv tri$<label>
+
+In this case, the "$" character directly after the "tri" enables debug
+dumps for this node, and the <label> is the label to prepend to log
+messages from this node.
