also for spg2xx_io, add machine().describe_context() to more of the logging calls to make it more informative for debugging.

- fixed a code in the netlist creation which caused multiple proxies
to be created for output->terminal connections. A nice side effect of
this fix is a performance increase ~9% for kidniki and ~4% for pong.
Speaking about pong ... maximum is 490%. Dice is running at
280 FPS/60 FPS = 466%, however without any analog emulation.
- Replaced NL_NOEXCEPT with noexcept. assert is now exception-free.
- cppcheck and lint fixes.
- move memory pool to netlist_state_t removing one static allocation.
- add memory allocation stats to verbose output
- nl_assert no longer throws, first step to remove NL_EXCEPT macro.

* also changed generic machine descriptions to include CPU speed rather than video card
* CPU speed is a property of a system's machine configuration in MAME
* on the other hand, the default video card is just chosen to be representative and can be changed via slot options
* also added thousands separators to clock frequencies to make it easy to see order of magnitude
cleaned up some other style things while I was at it (nw)

This commit is a first step towards using formulas in parameters, i.e.
MAINCLOCK(clock, 20 * 30)
The intention is to improve readability and scalability.
Since device registration already provides all necessary information
about parameters, the code to create an include file for all
devices has been improved. Long term, this will remove the need for
device specific header files.
In addition going forward devices will accept either no connections or
all specified connections, i.e.
TTL_7400_NAND(name, chip1.2, chip2.3)
or
TTL_7400_NAND(name)
NET_C(...)
NET_C(...)
This will allow to remove all duplicate definitions which are currently
necessary, i.e. TTL_7400_NAND/TTL_7400_GATE
