Rename formal cells in addition to witness signals. This is required to
reliably track individual property states for the non-smtbmc flows.
Also removes a misplced `break` which resulted in only partial witness
renaming.
Checks to see if a cell is of type ff in the liberty,
and keeps track of an additional area value.

This adds support for `$check` cells in chformal and adds a `-lower`
mode which converts `$check` cells into `$assert` etc. cells with a
`$print` cell to output the `$check` message.
* Speed up the autoname pass by 2x. This is accomplished by only constructing IdString objects for plain strings that have a higher score.
* Defer creating IdStrings even further. This increases the speedup to 3x.
This does not correctly handle an `$overwrite_tag` on a module output,
but since we currently require the user to flatten the design for
cross-module dft, this cannot be observed from within the design, only
by manually inspecting the signals in the design.
This is still missing a mode to rewrite $overwrite_tag and $original_tag
by injecting $set_tag and $get_tag in the right places. It's also
missing bit-precise propagation models for shifts and arithmetic and
requires the design to be flattened.
* Fixes a non-deterministic polarity error for $eqx/$nex cells
* Fixes a deterministic polarity error for $_NOR_ and $_ORNOT_ cells
* Generates hdlnames when xprop is run after flatten
This makes clk2fflogic add an attr to $ff cells that carry the state of
the emulated async FF. The $ff output doesn't have any async updates
that happened in the current cycle, but the $ff input does, so the $ff
input corresponds to the async FF's output in the original design.
Hence this patch also makes the following changes to passes besides
clk2fflogic (but only for FFs with the clk2fflogic attr set):
* opt_clean treats the input as a register name (instead of the
output)
* rename -witness ensures that the input has a public name
* the formal backends (smt2, btor, aiger) will use the input's
name for the initial state of the FF in witness files
* when sim reads a yw witness that assigns an initial value to the
input signal, the state update is redirected to the output
This ensures that yosys witness files for clk2fflogic designs have
useful and stable public signal names. It also makes it possible to
simulate a clk2fflogic witness on the original design (with some
limitations when the original design is already using $ff cells).
It might seem like setting the output of a clk2fflogic FF to update the
input's initial value might not work in general, but it works fine for
these reasons:
* Witnesses for FFs are only present in the initial cycle, so we do
not care about any later cycles.
* The logic that clk2fflogic generates loops the output of the
genreated FF back to the input, with muxes in between to apply any
edge or level sensitive updates. So when there are no active updates
in the current gclk cycle, there is a combinational path from the
output back to the input.
* The logic clk2fflogic generates makes sure that an edge sensitive
update cannot be active in the first cycle (i.e. the past initial
value is assumed to be whatever it needs to be to avoid an edge).
* When a level sensitive update is active in the first gclk cycle, it
is actively driving the output for the whole gclk cycle, so ignoring
any witness initialization is the correct behavior.
This was renaming cells while iterating over them which would always
cause an assertion failure. Apparently having to rename cells to make
all witness signals public is rarely required, so this slipped through.
