Some tests require a specific compiler error, rather than just failing. Add
support for this by allowing to check for gold files for CE tests.

vvp_reg.py requires 4 gold files. One for each of stdout and stderr of both
iverilog and vvp. Most of these log files will be empty for most test
cases. This will result in a lot of empty files being added to the
repository.
If a gold file for a specific output stream can not be found assume that
the output stream is supposed to empty. This allows to omit the empty gold
files.
Also remove all the existing empty gold files.

This adds the "normal-vlog95" test type, because we need to run a different
set of commands for this to work so a new test type makes sense. This also
moves a few of the existing tests to the new format in order to test the
new test rig.
Add a regression test to show that the proper dumpfile is selected, by
noting in the output from the vvp command what file name it is creating.
To make this work, I also needed to add some capabilities to the vvp_reg.py
regression test rig.
This creates a new test suite driver and infrastructure for going
forward. This cleans up the descriptions for tests, and is more
extensible.
Include documentation for the new engine, so that new tests can go
here instead of the old test suite.
