add vhdl textio format (output only)

This generates files which can be used in simulation and synthesis tools.

Where belongs the documentation of the command line parameters? The path mentioned in the Efinix patch looks like it contains only file-format descriptions, instead of SRecord command decriptions...???

The man5 files contain the file descriptions as they are from section 5 "File formats and conventions". The commands themselves are in section 1 "User commands" and the path is documented in doc/man1/*.1.

If you have something specific to e.g srec_cat then it would go in doc/man1/srec_cat.1

If you have something common (primarily the common input arguments used by srec_cat, srec_info and srec_cmp, then it would go into doc/man1/srec_input.1. Generally output specific elements are only used by srec_cat.

I believe this is ready for reviewing too.

This is another fantastic contribution Daniel and sorry for having to wait to the weekend to get to it. I think along the way you also spotted a bug which crept in when --output-block-size was first added back in 2010 (version 1.55). It was always there!

A few minor comments. Happy to discuss as always.
