Using .U as an example:

The API for constructing a literal of a set width is as follows:

123.U(8.W)

The problem is that it is very easy to forget the `.W`:

123.U(8)

This is actually equivalent to creating a literal then immediately
following it with bit extraction (.apply):

123.U.apply(8)

This is now deprecated by adding a form of .U that accepts a BigInt.

This ensures that Expressions that are not String literals will be
printed as String literals instead of Stringified ASTs. For example:

@chiselRuntimeDeprecated
@deprecated("This is " + "deprecated", "1.0")
def func() = ...

Formerly would print the runtime warning as:
"This is".$plus("deprecated")

It now prints the same as the Scala deprecation warning:
"This is deprecated"

Fix Double Elaboration Backportably

Remove the requirement that FirrtlStage runs elaboration (this should
be implicit) and remove the unneeded invalidation of elaboration by
the Emitter. Due to Convert currently NOT invalidating Elaborate (when
it should), add an optionalPrerequisiteOf to ensure that the Emitter
runs before the Convert phase.

* Add sbt-api-mappings plugin

This adds the sbt-api-mappings plugin which enables
auto-linking (properly setting the apiMappings for the sbt project) so
that Scaldoc/unidoc generation will now automatically link against
Java and Scala API docs (and use the right version).

No more compile internal

* Rename coreMacros to macros
* Rename chiselFrontend to core

Also make each subproject publish with "chisel3-" as a prefix

This has the effect of causing the coreMacros and chiselFrontend
projects to be published separately

Deprecate Driver methods in favor of ChiselStage

Signed-off-by: Schuyler Eldridge <schuyler.eldridge@ibm.com>

This adds three new methods to ChiselStage to replace deprecated
methods in the Driver for converting a Chisel circuit to a string:
  - emitChirrtl
  - emitFirrtl
  - emitVerilog

This also adds a ChiselStage companion object that lets you generated
a Chisel Circuit or a FIRRTL Circuit from a Chisel module:
  - elaborate
  - convert

squash! Add string emission helper methods to ChiselStage

* Remove toNamed (and friends) deprecation.

* Add inadvertently deleted leading double quote.

* Remove commented out deprecations.

Add trait chisel3.experimental.NoChiselNamePrefix which causes
@chiselName to skip naming of the instance effectively preventing it
from prefixing any vals inside the instance. It can be applied to
classes such that all instances of that class have this property, or to
individual instances (via creating an anonymous class inline).

Also add basic ScalaDoc for NoChiselNamePrefix and chiselName.
