This includes the following significant changes:
* Patching ezsat and minisat to disable resource limiting code
on WASM/WASI, since the POSIX functions they use are unavailable.
* Adding a new definition, YOSYS_DISABLE_SPAWN, present if platform
does not support spawning subprocesses (i.e. Emscripten or WASI).
This definition hides the definition of `run_command()`.
* Adding a new Makefile flag, DISABLE_SPAWN, present in the same
condition. This flag disables all passes that require spawning
subprocesses for their function.
The $paramod name mangling is not invertible (the \ character, which
separates the module name from the parameters, is valid in the module
name itself), which does not stop people from trying to invert it.
This commit makes it easy to invert the name mangling by storing
the original name explicitly, and fixes the firrtl backend to use
the newly introduced attribute.
A new pass, connect_rpc, allows any HDL frontend that can read/write
JSON from/to stdin/stdout or an unix socket or a named pipe to
participate in elaboration as a first class citizen, such that any
other HDL supported by Yosys directly or indirectly can transparently
instantiate modules handled by this frontend.
Recognizing that many HDL frontends emit Verilog, it allows the RPC
frontend to direct Yosys to process the result of instantiation via
any built-in Yosys frontend. The resulting RTLIL is then hygienically
integrated into the overall design.
