- consistently use value semantics for objects passed along FFI boundary
(not ideal but matches previous behavior)
- add new overload of RTLIL::Module: addMemory that does not require a "donor" object
- the idea is `Module`, `Memory`, `Wire`, `Cell` and `Process` cannot be directly constructed in Python and can only be added to the existing memory hierarchy in `Design` using the `add` methods - `Memory` requiring a donor object was the odd one out here
- fix superclass member wrapping only looking at direct superclass for inheritance instead of recursively checking superclasses
- fix superclass member wrapping not using superclass's denylists
- fix Design's `__str__` function not returning a string
- fix the generator crashing if there's any `std::function` in a header
- misc: add a crude `__repr__` based on `__str__`
- Rewrite all Python features to use the pybind11 library instead of boost::python.
Unlike boost::python, pybind11 is a header-only library that is just included by Pyosys code, saving a lot of compile time on wheels.
- Factor out as much "translation" code from the generator into proper C++ files
- Fix running the embedded interpreter not supporting "from pyosys import libyosys as ys" like wheels
- Move Python-related elements to `pyosys` directory at the root of the repo
- Slight shift in bridging semantics:
- Containers are declared as "opaque types" and are passed by reference to Python - many methods have been implemented to make them feel right at home without the overhead/ambiguity of copying to Python and then copying back after mutation
- Monitor/Pass use "trampoline" pattern to support virual methods overridable in Python: virtual methods no longer require `py_` prefix
- Create really short test set for pyosys that just exercises basic functionality
