Some types, i.e. vector types with parameterized dimensions,
may have different elaboration results in different scopes.
Handle those cases in the elaboration caches.
When a module is instantiated multiple times, the enum
types contained within would cause trouble. This fixes
that by elaborating in proper scope context.
There were also some subtleties related to using enumerations
from typedefs and using them in multiple places. Fix various
bugs related to those issues.
Static properties are like variables in a named scope.
Detect these variables during elaboration so that the
code generator just sees them as variables.
Add properties to the classes, and elaborate expressions that
have class properties. Describe class object property references
all the way down to the stub target.
In vvp, create the .var/str variable for representing strings, and
handle strings in the $display system task.
Add to vvp threads the concept of a stack of strings. This is going to
be how complex objects are to me handled in the future: forth-like
operation stacks. Also add the first two instructions to minimally get
strings to work.
In the parser, handle the variable declaration and make it available
to the ivl_target.h code generator. The vvp code generator can use this
information to generate the code for new vvp support.
This is a cleanup in preparation for better support of range lists.

Class names can be declared early, before definitions, so that the
name can be used as a type name. This thus allows class definitions
to be separate from the declaration. This creates some complexity in
the parser, since the lexor knows about the class names.
This adds the vector_type_t and real_type_t types to handle
vector and real types in tf_port items. This cleans up a lot
of the parsing for these items.
This gets me to the point where the parser stashes a defined type,
and the lexical analyzer uses the type names to differentiate
IDENTIFIER and TYPE_IDENTIFIER.
Parse typedefs with structs and enums, but give a sorry message,
because they are not yet supported. Rearrange some of the parse
rules for variables in order to increase comonality with the
typedef rules.
This patch fixes a few more bugs in the enumeration code.
It add support for saving the file and line information to make
diagnostic messages better.
It updates some of the compiler warning messages to use the file
and line information.
It passes if the enumeration type is signed all the way to the
code generators.
It fixes the parser to correctly have the range after the signed
designation for the vector types.
It adds a warning that vvp does not currently support a negative
two state enumeration value.
The pform propagates the parsed enum base type information
to the elaborator so that the base type can be fully elaborated.
This is necessary to get the types of the enumeration literals
correct.
When enum names are used as r-values in expressions, use their
values. Treat the enum names similar to (but not exactly as)
localparams so that they fit into the rest of the elaboration
flow naturally.
