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.

Also added a testing only -fno-const-before-dfg option, as otherwise
V3Const eats up a lot of the simple inputs. A lot of the things V3Const
swallows in the simple cases can make it to DFG in complex cases, or DFG
itself can create them during optimization. In any case to save
complexity of testing DFG constant folding, we use this option to turn
off V3Const prior to the DFG passes in the relevant test.
