sim.pysim: only import pyvcd when needed.

In some environments (e.g. Pyodide) it may be advantageous to not load
this library, and with the import at file level, it makes the entire
simulator unusable, not just `PySimEngine.write_vcd`.

This might also help people whose Python environments are unusually
broken, whom we've historically accommodated.
