This option will dump the .fir before invoking firtool.

Additional changes:
* Use os.lib for invoking firtool
* Use lazy serialization to avoid holding the entire FIRRTL in
  memory.
* Mix NoStackTrace into FirtoolNotFound
* Fix detection of no firtool

* Sanitize Record._elements (#3419)

This moves name sanitation a little earlier and ensures that the
sanitized names are use more consistently throughout Chisel internals.

This fixes a bug in D/I where unsanitary names would lead to a crash.

* SRAM API: Add multiple-clocked port API (#3383)

This PR adds new APIs for the SRAM module to instantiate a number of ports connected to individual clocks. This allows the creation of memories driven by multiple clocks, for use cases like clock domain crossover.

* Deprecate calling .viewAs on non-hardware (#3395)

It's an error in most cases already, and in the cases it isn't, make it

This is not a functional bug. The recursive form of reify for Element
would use the .topBinding from the wrong argument, so it would recurse
an extra time, but it would ultimately converge to the right value.

Change what DataView allows in its type checking to enable Reset to be
viewed as either a UInt<1> or an AsyncReset.  This enables more flexible
DataViews which match already allowable Chisel and FIRRTL connection
semantics.

Also, audit and improve the naming mdocs.

It seems that deprecations on methods that are macro expanded away do
not actually trigger a deprecation warning. Instead, we will just accept
no source locator on the deprecated API (no released version of Chisel
has the source locator).
