This patch addresses a number of issues:
Rewrote the $test$plusargs and $value$plusargs routines to have
better error/warning messages, to support runtime strings, to
correctly load bit based values (truncating, padding, negative
value), added support for the real formats using strtod() and
added "x/X" as an alias for "h/H" to match the other part of
Icarus.
Rewrite the vpip_{bin,oct,hex}_str_to_vec4 routines to ignore
embedded "_" characters. Add support for a negative value and
set the entire value to 'bx if an invalid digit is found. A
warning is printed for this case.
Rewrite vpip_dec_str_to_vec4 to ignore embedded "_" characters,
to support a single "x" or "z" constant and to return 'bx if an
invalid digit is found. A warning is printed for this case.
It simplifies the system task/functions error/warning messages.
It removes the signed flag for the bin and dec string conversions.
This was not being used (was always false) and the new negative
value support makes this obsolete.
Add support for a real variable to handle Bin, Oct, Dec and Hex
strings. They are converted into a vvp_vector4_t which is then
converted to a real value.
Add support for setting a bit based value using a real value.
Removed an unneeded rfp signal in vpip_make_reg()
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.
