By default, the --stderr-file and --stdout-file arguments were directing the simulator output to files named "simerr" and "simout" respectively if an output redirect was requested. A small annoyance is these files lack an extension meaning programs refuse to open them, or to do so without some additional effort. On many systems they are assumed to scripts. This patch adds the .txt extension to both, thus clearly indicating to other programs these are text files and can be opened to be read as such. Change-Id: Iff5af4a9e6966b4467d005a029dbf401099fbd35
