Support int aa[string]/int aa[*] with assign, size/num, exists, delete,
foreach, and whole-array copy for UVM Tier A table patterns. Runtime uses
vvp_aarray_vec4 (std::map); int keys and richer element types deferred.
Fold in Windows VPI routing for vpip_format_pretty, fix queue method
argument elaboration via elaborate_rval_expr, reject class tasks used as
expressions cleanly, and update br1005 now that class queues compile.
Review follow-up: move vpip_format_pretty to vpip_format.cc with
diagnostic return strings, restore NetNet-based queue method elaboration
with a separate property path, drop spurious /devel/ from .gitignore,
and bump copyright years on touched files.
Formatting pass per inline review: brace style for multi-line if bodies,
||/&& at end-of-line continuations, switch/case indentation, single-line
if returns, NetNet-based sys_task_method_ again, and aligned extern decls.
The vvp parser did not accept the local flag on `.var/real`
declarations. This can happen when elaboration creates a compiler-generated
real temporary, for example when a blocking intra-assignment delay is
rewritten from:
r = #1 1.25;
to assign the right hand side to a temporary before the delay and assign
the temporary to the target after the delay.
Add support for the local flag. Keep a VPI symbol for the variable so
`%load/real` can still resolve the label, but do not attach local real
variables to the current scope.

vvp is missing a parser rule for unsigned 2-state net arrays. E.g.
```
bit a[0:1];
assign a[0] = 1'b0;
```
will synthesize fine, but when running it with vvp cause a syntax error.

This adds the runtime support for class properties that are classes
to be arrayed. Add a means to define the dimensions of a property
in the vvp format, and add functions for setting/extracting elements
of a property.
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.
When for example assigning to foo[<x>] within a contitional, and
doing synthesis, we need to create a NetSubstitute device to manage
the l-value bit selects.
This generates an EQZ LPM device that carries the case-z-ness to
the code generator.
Also add to the vvp code generator support for the EQZ device so
that the synthesis results can be simulated.
Account for the wildcard devices in the sizer.
Redsign the handling of the return value, including a rework of
the %vpi_func syntax to carry the needed information.
Add a few more arithmetic operator instructions.
This is rather a pointless sort of thing, but it does turn from
from time to time, for example when constant literals (with no x or
z bits) are given strengths. So handle .net8/2s and .net8/2u the
same as .net8.s and .net8 objects.
This provides the ivl_target.h interface for class definitions
and expressions, the vvp code generator support for class objects
and properties, and the vvp run time support. Trivial class objects
now seem to work.
Create stub class objects at the vvp level and generate the code
to invoke that stub. Implement the routines needed to implement
a test for null object references.
This will hopefully improve performance slightly, but also this
intended as a model for what to do when I get around to doing the
same thing to other data types.
This also advances support for string expressions in general.
Handle assignments to string variables in the code generator by
trying to calculate a string expression. This involves the new
string object thread details.
