Add/rework VPI access to modpaths. This allows VPI code access to
paths described in specify blocks. In the process, the VPI structure
has been reworked to conform to the IEEE1364 standard.

Wide division/modulus (more bits than unsigned long) gave incorrect
results when both the divisor and dividend where the same. They also
did not produce an error message when dividing by zero.
The modpath source node defines the modpath object, and carries the
nodes for the source expression. The modpath outputs are references
by pointers to the vpiModPath that is not in itself a vpi object
any more. This makes the VPI view of a module path look like the
source-destinaiton pair that is the IEEE1364 description of the
modpath.
Add vvp support for modpath path term outputs. This also introduces
the concept of path terms and moves towards the path term in general
for getting at the endpoits of a modpath.
Clean up rather poorly written modpath vpi support, fixing the
parse of the modpath syntax element to not use pointless globals.
Collect the modpath code into the delay.cc file instead of the
inapropriate vpi_signal.cc source file.

This patch adds ivl_scope_time_precision() to the compiler which can
be used to extract the local scope precision. tgt-stub and tgt-vvp
have been modified to use this new function and output a value that
is appropriate. The vvp runtime has been altered to use this new
data which is accessed with the vpip_time_precision_from_handle()
function. vpiTimePrecision uses this function to return the correct
precision.
Add support for accessing the modpath nodes via PLI,
and add support for the vpi_set_delays and vpi_put_delays
functions to set the delays on those paths.

This patch splits the end of compile and the start of simulation call
backs code into two different procedures. The end of compile events are
still executed at the same time they alway were. The start of simulation
events are now run after initialization.
The event loop used to check for $finish at every iteration. This patch
alters this behavior to only check just before you advance to the next
time step. This allows events for the current time step to complete.
Modified the code that deals with real variables to accept an integer
value when using vpi_put_value(). Also added some type of diagnostic
message for all switch defaults that have an assert(0) to indicate an
error condition, removed CVS comments and removed a small section of
unreachable code.
It is possible for the compiler to generate logic gates that have
inputs from part select nodes. This implements the part select
input methods.

This patch makes vpiFullName for real variables return the correct
value. A Scope reference was added to the base structure along with
the relevant code to support generating the full name. A couple of
memory leaks were plugged and some formatting fixed as well.
It appears that other simulators allow the second argument to
vpi_handle_by_name to be either a scope or a module. Allowing
a module in addition to a scope significantly increases the
usability of this function.
vpi_get_str() can now return a reasonable value for most of the
types used in vvp. I'm not certain I got all of them, but they
are easy to add if any are missing. I also fixed a couple of
typos that I found while looking for all the different types.
This patch adds the missing vpiFullName property to binary and
string parameters (FYI real parameters are not currently supported
by the VPI interface).
This patch implements the swrite* and sformat system tasks. It also
makes $simtime distinguishable from the other integer time tasks.
This was needed to get the correct time units when $simtime was given
as an argument to $swrite*. The string constant code was also modified
to allow a string to be returned as a vector (0/1 bit pattern).
Here are some more specifics about the swrite* changes.
1. They do not share formatting code with the other display functions,
so they may/will produce different results.
2. All %{alpha} codes allow a width and justification. Others have been
enhanced (%t allows the default width and precision to be overridden,
time functions print with time formatting, better error checking and
messages, etc.).
3. %u and %z formatting codes have been added. It is important to note
that these two formats can produce embedded NULLs, since these
functions are returning a string anything after the first NULL will
not be reachable! memcpy is used instead of regular string processing
where needed so that the original string will contain the total
result. The size returned when the string is created is the true
length. A warning will be printed if a string with embedded NULLs is
produced (strlen() does not match the true length).
4. Real numbers are printed with %g instead of %f.
Once this new formatting code has been evaluated we should incorporate
the changes/fixes into the formatting code for the other functions or
the other functions could be modified to use this new code. The true
string length is available so we should be able to work around the
embedded NULL problem.
The calculated return value for the calculated strength value of
a net was left dangling. This patch fixes that. See pr1770199 in
the regression test suite.

The standard states that the seed for the random functions should be
an integer/time variable or a register. This patch fixes the compiletf
routines to check for this. There is also a small patch to
vvp/vpi_signal.cc that removes an assert that was failing and replaces
it with appropriate code. The assert was verifying that the source was
not bigger than an integer. The problem with this is that a time
variable or register may be bigger than an integer. I altered the code
to remove the assert and copy only the lower (8 * sizeof integer) bits.
The potential overflow/loss of precision is not checked. This passes
the regression tests.
Delat the compiletf calls until after all the label references
are resolved and link bindings are complete. Otherwise, there may
be dangling references.

This patch adds a compiletf routine to the $deposit system task and
simplifies the calltf routine. It also patches the constant string code
to return an appropriate integer value when needed. A number of compiletf
routines that check for this can now be simplified since this (string
constants) no longer causes an assert in an integer environment.
In rare cases, the reduction logic nodes may get vector part inputs.

The argument passed to $finish and $stop is not currently used, but it
is now passed down to the functions that may someday do something
useful with it (schedule_finish() and schedule_stop() in vvp/schedule.cc).
Be careful to include bitwise differences in double values, because
it is the bit pattern we are passing aroung, not the arithmetic value.
