- Make IdString parameter pass by const ref to avoid IdString ref counting in the constructor
- Remove extra std::string allocation to remove prefix
- Avoid using `stringf` for concatenation
dict is pretty slow when you don't ever need to iterate the container in
order. And the hashfunction for char* in dict hashes for every single
byte in the string, likely doing significantly more work than std::hash.
Checking only happens at compile time if -std=c++20 (or greater) is enabled. Otherwise
the checking happens at run time.
This requires the format string to be a compile-time constant (when compiling with
C++20), so fix a few places where that isn't true.
The format string behavior is a bit more lenient than C printf. For %d/%u
you can pass any integer type and it will be converted and output without
truncating bits, i.e. any length specifier is ignored and the conversion is
always treated as 'll'. Any truncation needs to be done by casting the argument itself.
For %f/%g you can pass anything that converts to double, including integers.

The generated code is reasonably efficient. E.g. with clang 19, `stringf()` with a format
with no %% escapes and no other parameters (a weirdly common case) often compiles to a fully
inlined `std::string` construction. In general the format string parsing is often (not always)
compiled away.
`-greperr <string>` redirects stderr to 'bugpoint-case.err', and then searches that file for `<string>`.
Move `-runner` option up with the other options to reduce ambiguity (i.e. so it doesn't look like it's another design parts constraint).
Also some shuffling of `err.ys`.
Allows checking return value from crashing design. Makes it possible to only accept designs that crash with e.g. SEGFAULT.
Based on `exec -expect-return`.
If you have a large design with a lot of modules and you use the Verilog
backend to emit modules one at a time to separate files, performance is
very low. The problem is that the Verilog backend calls `design->sort()`
every time, which sorts the contents of all modules, and this is slow
even when everything is already sorted.
We can easily fix this by only sorting the contents of modules that
we're actually going to emit.
`formatted_help()` introduced the override keyword, which means that the other two methods that were marked as virtual instead raised a warning about inconsistent use of override. This fixes that by bringing the synthprop (more) in line with the rest of the code-base.
