A simple proposal for better generated names

See original GitHub issue

Although Chisel3 naming is definitely improving, I still find myself having to grep through the generated Firrtl for a wire/reg/module/etc. named _T* every so often.

This process would be a bit more user friendly if the Chisel-generated names were distinguished by type. So wires could be named _W*, registers _R*, modules _M*, and so forth.

I imagine (hope) this would not be a burdensome change, and it would definitely improve readability and ease my use case.

when I first skimmed the proposal I assumed _M was for memories… which it should be.
