With-ps-file

Convenient wrapper for vl-print-to-file.

The basic idea of this is that you can do, e.g.,

(with-ps-file "my-file.txt"
   (vl-print "Hello,")
   (vl-println "World!"))

And end up with a file called my-file.txt that says Hello, World!. The general form is:

(with-ps-file filename &rest forms)

Basically we just wrap the forms in a vl-ps-seq and then add a call of vl-print-to-file at the end. This is done in a with-local-stobj, so previously printed content isn't included.

This implicitly takes, modifies, and returns state.
