v3.0-SNAPSHOT_2017-10-06

• Remove warning in Queue for compatibility code (#702)
• cloneType and chiselCloneType API change (#653)

  • cloneType is now marked (through comments only) as an internal API.

  • chiselCloneType is deprecated (and changed to cloneTypeFull internally, analogous to cloneTypeWidth).

  • chiselTypeOf(data) introduced as the external API to get a chisel type from a hardware object

  • Intended usage:

    Cloning is an implementation detail, and chisel types and hardware objects both should act as immutable types, with operations like Input(...), Reg(...), etc returning a copy and leaving the original unchanged. Hence, the clone operations are all deprecated.

    Input(...), Output(...), Flipped(...) require the object to be unbound
