A basic self contained VCD parser object
Walks through the definitions constructing the appropriate signal references. Caches XMR paths if and when the signal value changes in the dump for future reference. Needs some hooks for callbacks on signal changes and methods to allow sampling of a signal with an appropriate clock reference
Refer to IEEE SystemVerilog standard 1800-2009 for VCD details (Section 21.7 Value Change Dump (VCD) files )
Based on toggle count sample code from Donald 'Paddy' McCarthy
