Firstly, we always use a byte array for fine grained activity flags
instead of a bit vector (we used to use a byte array only if we had
parallel mtasks). The byte vector can be set more cheaply in eval,
closing about 1/3 of the gap in performance between compiling with
or without --trace on SweRV EH1. The speed of tracing itself is not
measurably different.
Secondly, we prune the activity tracking such that if a set of activity
flag combinations only guard a small number of signals, we will turn
those signals into awayls traced signals. This avoids code which
sometimes tests dozens of activity flags just to subsequently check one
signal and dump it if it's value changed. We can just check the signal
state straight instead, and not bother with the flags. This removes
about 30% of activity flags in SweRV EH1, and makes both single threaded
VCD and FST tracing 8-9% faster.
Includes `timescale, $printtimescale, $timeformat.
VL_TIME_MULTIPLIER, VL_TIME_PRECISION, VL_TIME_UNIT have been removed
and the time precision must now match the SystemC time precision.
To get closer behavior to older versions, use e.g. --timescale-override
"1ps/1ps".
