(System)Verilog allows to declare the port direction separate from the
signal declaration. E.g.
```
output x;
integer x;
```
But this is only allowed if the port declaration
* does not have an explicit net type
* does not have an explicit data type
* is a non-ANSI style declaration
For all other cases of port declarations the signal is considered fully
defined and it is not allowed to have a separate signal declaration.
In addition the declared packed dimensions need to match between the port
and signal declaration.
In the current implementation there are a few cases where this is not
handled correctly.
1) It is possible to declare non-ANSI task ports with the same name over
and over again, if it was declared as a signal before the port.
```
task t;
string x;
input logic x;
output real x;
endtask
```
2) It is possible to re-declare non-ANSI input ports of a module that have
a data type, but no explicit net type.
```
module M;
input integer x;
wire integer x;
endmodule
```
3) It is possible to re-declare a ANSI port if it has an implicit data type.
```
module M(output [1:0] x);
reg [1:0] x;
endmodule
```
4) It is possible to declare a vector signal for a scalar non-ANSI task
port.
```
task t;
input x;
reg [7:0] x;
```
To handle all of these correctly refactor signal declaration and lookup a
bit.
The PWire class that represents a signal already has two flags `port_set_`
and `net_set_`. These flags indicate whether a signal has already been used
in a port or signal declaration. A port declaration that includes an
explicit data type is considered both a port and signal declaration.
Use these flags to decide whether it is possible to extend an existing
declaration. E.g. when creating a port without an explicit data type and a
PWire by that name already exists and the `port_set_` flag is not set
extend the existing PWire. On the other hand if the `port_set_` flag is
already set report an error.
Similar for signals but with the `net_set_` flag.
For port declarations with an explicit data type or ANSI style port
declarations it is always an error if a PWire by that name already exists.
This is for both module and task/function ports.

By adding ivtest to the iverilog source tree, it is easier to keep
the regression test synchronized with the source that is being tested.
This should be especially helpful for PRs that add a new feature, and
have a matching ivtest PR with the regression test for that feature.
