Wire with overflow

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Wire width is stored internally using unsigned short. If an user tries to 
create a wire > 65536 DBUs Toped silently overflows and in result a wire is 
created with a width = W % 65536.
We need
1. To issue an error if an attempt is made to create a wire with a width bigger 
than the store type (whatever it is)
2. To reconsider eventually the storage type to a bigger one - say unsigned int.

The wire width restriction is now parameterized and the value currently is 
2^31. So it is now possible ( r1642) to enter wires bigger than 65535 DBUs. The 
validation classes are updated with the corresponding checks for the maximum 
wire width. Two things remain though:-
- TDT format must be updated because the width there is of type unsigned short. 
This is always a bad news, but it will be upward compatible.
- There is no check currently whether the wire frame is going outside the 
canvas range. In other words another overflow is possible and should be taken 
care of.

TDT format upreved to 0.8 on r1643. The rest is transferred to Issue 74.
