Holger Vogt f0cb886af1 Add command 'write_ic'
Write out the right hand side status of the matrix in format
    .ic = V(node_xx)
    This may be possible at the end of a simulation or after a 'stop'
    of the simulation, which may be resumed again afterwars. This
    status may be used to start another simulation with these
    parameters by inluding into the netlist.

Holger Vogt df0792818f Transient op calculation added to the standard operating point code.
When standard iteration, gmin stepping and source stepping fail,
try a transient simulation (like tran with uic option) to
determine the op. Implemented for AC and Tran simulation.

Holger Vogt a08e6a0676 Add new SOA parameters (safe operating area) for BJT.
We now scan for max of Ic, Ib, power, taking into
account the max allowed temperature, using the thermal
resistance rth0 model parameter between juntion and ambient.

Two user options are there: If rth0 is given, we calculate
a derating of the max power allowed.
Without a constant max power according to model param pow_max
is assumed.

The new model parameters for the bipolar model are:
pow_max, ic_max, ib_max, te_max, and rth0, in addition
to the already existing vbe_max, vbc_max, adn vce_max.

Holger Vogt 33571877dc Some update to SOA for a diode:
Limit output to four digits
Add power and temperature limits.
Derating with self-heating, or with fixed temperature,
or no derating at all, selectable by setting model parameters.
Example file: SOA plotted as frame, with diode current.

Holger Vogt 759f4f5f84 Make the output a little more verbose:
add terminal voltage to Id, Te, and Pd outputs.
Compare SOA data to terminal voltage, not (unknown) junction voltage.

Holger Vogt 9c8380a031 Enhance the SOA (safe operating area) operations
Parameters id_max, pd_max and te_max have been added

Holger Vogt 9a2d968577 When transferring boolean data over the ABI, keep them as boolean types, not integer
Replace the type of all boolean variables around the ABI by NG_BOOL.
NG_BOOL is typedefed to _Bool, when compiling shared ngspice. When
sharedspice.h is use externally NG_BOOL is typdefed to bool

Carsten Schoenert 48f2c2b875 configure.ac: Adding version string for LIB_NGSPICE_API
This isn't currently used but can be used in various places to
automatically provide the internal API version that is used.
Normally developers doesn't want to break the API by introducing a
version bump as this means the new library isn't backward compatible
any more.

E.g. the API version can be used to enhance the name of the library,
quite often libraries with an API version 0 don't add this version to
library name (like ngspice is doing this too right now).

Carsten Schoenert 61b5c0563b src/Makefile.am: Adopt used variables for lib versioning
A small adjustment so the configured ABI version from configure.ac will
