This introduces a new experimental API for module instantiation that disentagles
elaborating the definition (or implementation) from instantiation of
a given module. This solves Chisel's longstanding reliance on
"Deduplication" for generating Verilog with multiple instances of the
same module.
The new API resides in package chisel3.experimental.hierarchy. Please
see the hierarchy ScalaDoc, documentation, and tests for examples of
use.

DataView is a mechanism for "viewing" Scala objects as a subtype of
`Data`. Often, this is useful for viewing one subtype of `Data`, as
another. One can think about a DataView as a cross between a
customizable cast and an untagged union.
A DataView has a Target type `T`, and a View type `V`. DataView requires
that an implementation of `DataProduct` is available for Target types.
DataProduct is a type class that provides a way to iterate on `Data`
children of objects of implementing types.
If a DataView is provided for a type T to a type V, then the function
.viewAs[V] (of type T => V) is available. The object (of type T) returned
by .viewAs is called a "View" and can be used as both an rvalue and an
lvalue. Unlike when using an .asTypeOf cast, connecting to a "View" will
connect to the associated field or fields of the underlying Target.
DataView also enables .viewAsSupertype which is available for viewing
Bundles as a parent Bundle type. It is similar to .viewAs but requires
a prototype object of the Target type which will be cloned in order to
create the returned View. .viewAsSupertype maps between the
corresponding fields of the parent and child Bundle types.
