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 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 $ff cells).
It might seem like setting the output of a clk2fflogic FF to update the
input's initial value might not work in general, but it works fine for
these reasons:
* Witnesses for FFs are only present in the initial cycle, so we do
not care about any later cycles.
* The logic that clk2fflogic generates loops the output of the
genreated FF back to the input, with muxes in between to apply any
edge or level sensitive updates. So when there are no active updates
in the current gclk cycle, there is a combinational path from the
output back to the input.
* The logic clk2fflogic generates makes sure that an edge sensitive
update cannot be active in the first cycle (i.e. the past initial
value is assumed to be whatever it needs to be to avoid an edge).
* When a level sensitive update is active in the first gclk cycle, it
is actively driving the output for the whole gclk cycle, so ignoring
any witness initialization is the correct behavior.
These can be used to protect undefined flip-flop initialization values
from optimizations that are not sound for formal verification and can
help mapping all solver-provided values in witness traces for flows that
use different backends simultaneously.
Previously, opt_clean would reconnect all ports (including FF Q ports)
to a "canonical" SigBit chosen by complex rules, but would leave the
init attribute on the old wire. This change applies the same
canonicalization rules to the init attributes, ensuring that init moves
to wherever the Q port moved.
Part of another jab at #2920.
Previously, `$memwr` and `$meminit` cells were always preserved (along
with the memory itself). With this change, they are instead part of the
main cell mark-and-sweep pass: a memory (and its `$meminit` and `$memwr`
cells) is only preserved iff any associated `$memrd` cell needs to be
preserved.
This was obtained by running the following SED command in passes/opt/
and then using "meld foo.cc foo.cc.orig" to manually fix all resulting
compiler errors.

o Not all derived methods were marked 'override', but it is a great
feature of C++11 that we should make use of.
o While at it: touched header files got a -*- c++ -*- for emacs to
provide support for that language.
o use YS_OVERRIDE for all override keywords (though we should probably
use the plain keyword going forward now that C++11 is established)
