When using the __ALL*.cpp based single compile mode (i.e.: without
VM_PARALLEL_BUILDS), the fast path tracing code used to be included in
__Allsup.cpp, which was compiled with OPT_SLOW, severely harming tracing
performance. We now have __ALLfast.cpp and __ALLslow.cpp instead of
__ALLcls.cpp and __ALLsup.cpp, so we can compile the fast support code
with OPT_FAST as well.
This patch eliminates a major piece of inefficiency in FST tracing
support, by using an array to lookup fstHandle values corresponding
to trace codes, instead of a tree based std::map. With this change, FST
tracing is now only about 3x slower than VCD tracing. We do require
more memory to store the symbol lookup table, but the size of that is
still small, for the speed benefit.
Verilator uses a form of variadic macros that are nonstandard, making it
unable to be compiled under MSVC. Replace the old synax with the
standard syntax. This fixes MSVC usage.

* Add +verilator+noassert flag
This allows to disable the assert check per simulation argument.
* Add AssertOn check for assert
Insert the check AssertOn to allow disabling of asserts.
Asserts can be disabled by not using the `--assert` flag or by calling
`AssertOn(false)`, or passing the "+verilator+noassert" runtime flag.
Add tests for this behavior.
Bad tests check that the assert still causes a stop.
Non bad tests check that asserts are properly disabled and cause no stop
of the simulation.
Fixes#2162.

* Add description for single test execution
Without this description it is not obvious how to run a single test from
the regression test suite.

* Add VL_OVERRIDE macro so that compiler can tell my typo when trying to override a function.
* Mark visit() with VL_OVERRIDE. No functional change intended.
