This provides minor simulation performance benefit, but can provide
large C++ compilation time improvement, notably with Clang (4x).
This patch implements #2366 .
This allows compiling the run-time library with optimization even when OPT_FAST is not used in order to imporove model build speed, possibly during debug cycles.
Unify the actions in the Dockerfiles between the runtime environment
and the run containers.
Fixes#2345

This adds the flag --generate-waivefile <filename>. This will generate
a verilator config file with the proper lint_off statemens to turn off
warnings emitted during this particular run.
This feature can be used to start with using Verilator as linter and
systematically capture all known lint warning for further
elimination. It hopefully helps people turning of -Wno-fatal or
-Wno-lint and gradually improve their code base.

--output-split is now on by default with value 20000.
--output-split-cfuncs and --output-split-ctrace now defaults to the
value of --output-split unless explicitly specified.
Instead of __ALLfast.cpp and __ALLslow.cpp, we now create only a single
__ALL.cpp and compile it with OPT_FAST, this speeds up small builds
where the C compiler does not dominate. A separate patch will follow
turning VM_PARALLEL_BUILDS on by default at a certain size.
Given this change to the build there is now no point in emitting both
fast and slow routines into the same .cpp file when --output-split is
not set as they will be just included in the same __ALL.cpp file. To
keep things simpler and the output easier to comprehend, V3EmitC has
also been changed to always emit the fast and slow files separately.
Also change verilated.mk to apply OPT_SLOW to all slow files, not just
ones called *__Slow.cpp. This change in particular ensures __Syms.cpp
is build as slow.
Part of #2360.
