The vvp_net_fun_t objects, and derived objects, are small, and are
created in large quantities. Tightly pack them into permanently
allocated space in order to save on system allocation overhead, and
thus save overall on memory.
Scheduler cells are small objects that come and go in great quantities.
Even though they are allocated and deallocated a lot, they tend to a
steady state quantity, so put together a heap that is unique for each
cell type.
This heap actually saves memory overall because cells are allocated in
chunks, thus eliminating allocator overhead, and they are pulled/pushed
from/to a heap very quickly so that what overhead remains is slight and
bounded.
The vvp_net_t objects are never deleted, so overload the new operator
to do a more space efficient permanent allocation.
The %assign/v instruction copied the vvp_vector4_t object needlessly
on its way to the scheduler. Eliminate that duplication.(cherry picked from commit d0f303463d)
vvp/main.cc was including asm/page.h on GNU/Linux
systems, though that file does not often exist and
is not necessary.

This patch adds a new flag to vvp "-n" that can be used to make
$stop and hence <Control-C> act like $finish. This may be desired
when using vvp in a non-interactive environment.
The functor counters were left over from the v0.8 release. Rework
the counters to be relevent to the current state of vvp.

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.

as well as a user specified log file, set log
file to buffer lines.
Add vpi_flush function, and clear up some cunfused
return codes from other vpi functions.
Adjust $display and vcd/lxt messages to use the
standard output/log file.
