Currently it is only possible to declare packed array variables with a
struct type as the element type.
Add support for packed arrays of other packed types. This includes packed
arrays of enums and vectors as well as packed arrays of packed arrays.
Since packed arrays of packed types are already supported for class members
the infrastructure for elaborating all types of packed arrays exists.
It just needs to be called when elaborating a signal.

There are too many ad hoc handlers of symbol_search partial results.
Rewrite symbol_search to clean up things like partial results and
member/method detections. Use this reworked symbol_search function
to rewrite expression elaborate for the PECallFunction expressions.
In the rare cases where DARRAY signals are in the network, handle
them by creating the proper ivl_nexus_t node. This also implements
the receive of vvp_object_t objects bu vvp_fun_anyedge_sa. This
together makes it possible for IVL_VT_DQUEUE objects to be in
wait lists.
This fixes#412
This.new is not allowed.
super.new beyond the first statement is not allowed.
And while I'm at it, clean up the use of "@" and "#" in
the code as tokens for this and super.
The compiler elaborates types on the fly as they are used. For user-
defined types (typedefs) we must do the elaboration in the scope where
the type was declared, not in the scope where it is used.
When strings are arguments to functions/tasks, that doesn't suddenly
make them implicitly scalar. Strings are vectors and should be treated
that was, even if they are IMPLICIT_REG.
As reported on iverilog-devel on 2018-10-12, a dimension size of zero
could case the compiler to go into an infinite loop. Further tests
showed that unsized or queue dimensions entered as packed dimensions
would cause the compiler to crash.
The compilation unit scope is now treated as a specialised form of
package (with an automatically generated name). All items declared
outside a design element are added to the current compilation unit
package. Apart from when searching for a symbol, once we get into
elaboration we can treat these just like any other package.
If an error is found whilst elaborating a range expression in a signal
declaration, create a dummy range and continue elaboration. This stops
the compiler reporting an error every time that signal is referenced.
This goes all the way down to the vvp level, where we create support
for arrays of objects, generate the new code in the -tvvp code
generator, and elaborate the arrays in the first place.
This patch fixes the following enumeration bugs:
When looking for an enumeration look in the current scope and then
recursively in any parent scope.
Add enumeration definitions to a package scope.
Some types, i.e. vector types with parameterized dimensions,
may have different elaboration results in different scopes.
Handle those cases in the elaboration caches.
