Several places in Icarus Verilog try to get the bits of the integer
part of a double by casting to unsigned or unsigned long. But that
causes some compilers to generate smart code that converts all values
less then 0 to 0, even though we are after the bits, not the math
value. So be careful to do this cast only to non-negative values and
uminus the bits if necessary to get exactly what we want.

This patch modifies the conversion functions $rtoi, $itor,
$realtobits and $bitstoreal calltf routines to be more efficient.
This is done by caching the vpiHandle to the argument in the userdata
pointer. This eliminated the need to get the argument iterator, scan
and free the iterator.
It also updates the error messages to use the new file and line
number information that is available for system functions. It also
adds a check that verifies the functions are only called with one
argument and makes the errors fatal.
