These are no longer required for correct scheduling. They are still
accepted for backward compatibility, but have no effect on simulation
and are dropped in the front-end. Also removed the then redundant
AstAlwaysPublic class.

Combined Dfg variable elimination into the regularization pass that runs
before converting back to Ast. This avoids introducing some unnecessary
temporaries.
Added replacing of variables with constants in the Ast if after the
Dfg passes they are known to be constants. This is only done in final
scoped Dfg application.
Avoid introducing temporaries for common sub-expressions that are
cheaper to re-compute than store in a temporary variable.
Enable removal of redundant unpacked array variables.
Also fixes#6394 as this patch involved changes to that code.
These are all genuine bugs, brief descriptions.
1. V3OrderCFuncEmitter.h used to delete a node early that was still
reference in a graph dump later. Not a big deal, it can be deleted
later at the end of V3Order.
2. V3Param.cpp: this one is tricky. The variable referenced by
AstVarXRef was deleted at the end of `visit(AstGenCase*)`, but then
`visit(AstVarXRef*)` checks `nodep->varp()` (already deleted) to see
if it's in an interface.
3. V3String::wildMatch is sometimes called with an empty 's' (the string
we are matching against tha pattern 'p'), in which case it used to go
off into the woods. Added check on call. An arbitrary number of `*`
will still match the empty string.
4. V3Task.cpp: There was an error reported for an unsupported construct,
then a subsequent SEGV. Just signal the error upward so we bail on an
error in a more graceful way.
5. verylog.y: Some unsupported constructs failed to set the parsed node,
so some memory thrash made it into some code downstream. Just parse
these into nullptr.
Also increased the timeout on one test, which sometimes tripped with
asan on GCC during heavy host load.
Added a mini type system for Dfg using DfgDataType to replace Dfg's use
of AstNodeDType. This is much more restricted and represents only the
types Dfg can handle in a canonical form. This will be needed when
adding more support for unpacked arrays and maybe unpacked structs one
day.
Also added an internal type checker for DfgGraphs which encodes all the
assumptions the code makes about type relationships in the graph. Run
this in a few places with --debug-check. Fix resulting fallout.
