The function `lsh` works almost like `ash` but is much slower, cannot be constant-folded by the compiler, and above all has confusing semantics for historical reasons. Using `lsh` instead of `ash` is always a mistake.

For these reasons we should deprecate `lsh`. It is not important to remove it as soon as possible, but to dissuade people from accidentally using it in their code.

There is now a compiler warning about calls to `lsh`.

Although we usually defer changes in verilog-mode.el to the maintainer for keeping in sync with the upstream version, I made the necessary (trivial) adjustments to keep warnings away.
