Configuring Type of Instantiations

There are two methods to instantiate components: component or entity.

VSG can check which method is being used and throw a violation if the incorrect method is detected.

Option	Values	Default Value	Description
`method`	`component`, `entity`	`component`	`component` = Enforce component instantiation `entity` = Enforce entity instantiation

This is an example of how to configure these options.
