Major VPTOOL usability improvements: VPTOOL version tracking, vplan dir handling, verif tags, PDF output

Created by: zchamski

This PR introduces a set of major improvements to VPTOOL usability:

  • simplified configuration
    • no per-module vp_config.py file is needed anymore
  • support for user-defined layout of per-module vplan databases
  • new naming scheme for verification tags
    • names are now unique across a product
    • old-style tags are automatically migrated to the new naming scheme upon saving a database
  • verification tags are now displayed in the Verification Item pane
    • displayed tags are read-only: they can be selected/copied, but cannot be modified
  • the complete configuration of "most recently used" VPTOOL is tracked inside databases
  • PDF output has been tested
  • user documentation in VerifPlans was updated wrt. installation and configuration.

The databases of the FRONTEND module were re-saved and the corresponding markdown updated to demonstrate the corresponding differences.

See individual commits for the detail of the technical changes.
