Replace explicit comparisons against generation_flag with calls to
the gn_system_verilog helper function, both for code clarity and
to fix a couple of bugs. Also simplify the implementation of the
function, as we already rely on the generation_flag enumeration
being an ordered list.

This just enables the compiler to parse path declarations that
contain part selects. As for bit selects, the part select is
discarded, and if elaboration of specify blocks is enabled,
the path declaration will be applied to the entire vector. If
elaboration is enabled, a warning message will now be output
when a bit or part select is discarded.

If a static variable declared in a task, function, or block has an
initialisation expression, SystemVerilog requires the declaration to
have an explicit static lifetime. This is supposed to be a compile
error, but for now just output a warning.
Implementing this required adding support in the parser for explicit
lifetimes in variable declarations. For now, just output an error if
the user asks for a lifetime that isn't the default for that scope.

Allow the size expression to be any constant expression. Also ensure that
the expression width and type are correctly calculated and applied.

This is syntax permitted in 1364-2001 but removed in 1364-2005.
Also update the iverilog man page to document the anachronisms warning
class that warns about use of this feature when a later generation is
selected.
The compiler was emitting a "sorry" message and aborting compilation when
it encountered attributes on a wire declaration/assignment. Change this
to a warning, as most attributes are ignored anyway.
Get rid of the data_type, signed_flag, and range arguments to the
pform_module_define_port because they add no value within the
parse.y parser. Cleaning these out will hopefully ease the addition
of new functionality.
This can be handled entirely in the parser, where we rewrite the
syntax to me a begin/end block that contains the index variable
declaration and the for loop.
