Apart from the representational changes below, this patch renames
AstNodeMath to AstNodeExpr, and AstCMath to AstCExpr.
Now every expression (i.e.: those AstNodes that represent a [possibly
void] value, with value being interpreted in a very general sense) has
AstNodeExpr as a super class. This necessitates the introduction of an
AstStmtExpr, which represents an expression in statement position, e.g :
'foo();' would be represented as AstStmtExpr(AstCCall(foo)). In exchange
we can get rid of isStatement() in AstNodeStmt, which now really always
represent a statement
Peak memory consumption and verilation speed are not measurably changed.
Partial step towards #3420
In non-static contexts like class objects or stack frames, the use of
global trigger evaluation is not feasible. The concept of dynamic
triggers allows for trigger evaluation in such cases. These triggers are
simply local variables, and coroutines are themselves responsible for
evaluating them. They await the global dynamic trigger scheduler object,
which is responsible for resuming them during the trigger evaluation
step in the 'act' eval region. Once the trigger is set, they await the
dynamic trigger scheduler once again, and then get resumed during the
resumption step in the 'act' eval region.

Prevents the possibility of assigning an integer to a class reference,
both at the SystemVerilog and the emitted C++ levels.

* Put suspended coroutine source location in a separate struct,
* Have `dump()` always print, wrap calls in `VL_DEBUG_IF`,
* Improve const correctness.
These are also used as a marker (when non-nullptr) when creating a
buffer. Reset them when they are not valid to avoid invalid write if a
buffer is created after a close (due to a subsequent re-open).
Fixes#3651.
This change introduces a custom reference-counting pointer class that
allows creating such pointers from 'this'. This lets us keep the
receiver object around even if all references to it outside of a class
method no longer exist. Useful for coroutine methods, which may outlive
all external references to the object.
The deletion of objects is deferred until the next time slot. This is to
make clearing the triggered flag on named events in classes safe
(otherwise freed memory could be accessed).
