The register file is currently implemented as a whole pile of individual
1-bit registers instead of LUT memory which is a huge waste of FPGA
space.
This is caused by the output signal exposing the register file to the
outside world for simulation debug.
This removes that output, and moves the dumping of the register file
to the register file module itself. This saves about 8% of fpga on
the little Arty A7-35T.

The const* fields of decode_rom_t drove multiplexers in decode2 that
picked out various instruction fields and put them into the const*
fields of the Decode2ToExecute1Type record, from where they were
used in execute1. However, the code in execute1 can just as easily
use the appropriate fields of the original instruction word, since
that is now available in execute1. This therefore changes the
code to do that, resulting in smaller decode tables.

The l?arx and st?cx. instructions are defined to use the normal indexed
mode address calculations, i.e. (RA|0) + RB. Fix their entries in the
decode table to say RA_OR_ZERO rather than RA.

This changes decode_op_31_array from being indexed by a ppc_insn_t
(which is derived from the instruction word by a whole series of
if/elsif statements) to being indexed directly by bits 10...1 of
the instruction word. With this we no longer need ppc_insn.
This then means that the decode1 stage doesn't distinguish between
mfcr and mfocrf, or between mtcrf and mtocrf, since those are
distinguished by the value in bit 20 of the instruction. To
accommodate that, execute1 changes so that the one op value (OP_MFCR)
does either the mfcr or the mfocrf behaviour depending on bit 20
of the instruction word; and similarly for mtcrf/mtocrf.

This comprises the 64-bit rotate and mask instructions. In order to
reduce the table index to 3 bits, we combine rldcl and rdlcr into a
single op (OP_RLDCX), and choose the right mask at execute time based
on bit 1 of the instruction word.

This changes the decoding of major opcode 19 from using the ppc_insn_t
index to using bits of the instruction word directly. Opcode 19 has
a 10-bit minor opcode field (bits 10..1) but the space is sparsely
filled. Therefore we index a table of single-bit entries with the
10-bit minor opcode to filter out the illegal minor opcodes, and
index a table using just 3 bits -- 5, 3 and 2 -- of the instruction
to get the decode entry. This groups together all the instructions
in 4 columns of the opcode map as a single entry. That means that
mcrf and all the CR logical ops get grouped together, and bcctr, bclr
and bctar get grouped together. At present the CR logical ops are not
implemented, so their grouping has no impact.
The code for bclr and bcctr in execute1 is now common, using a single
op, and it now determines the branch address by looking at bit 10 of
the instruction word at execute time.

With this, we have a table for most major opcodes and separate
tables for each major opcode that has further decoding required.
These tables are still mostly indexed by the ppc_insn_t values,
however.
A few things are still decoded completely at the top level: nop,
attn and sim_config.

Instead of doing mfctr, mflr, mftb, mtctr, mtlr as separate ops,
just pass down mfspr and mtspr ops with the spr number and let
execute1 decode which SPR we're addressing. This will help reduce
the number of instruction bits decode1 needs to look at.
In fact we now pass down the whole instruction from decode2 to
execute1. We will need more bits of the instruction in future,
and the tools should just optimize away any that we don't end
up using. Since the 'aa' bit was just a copy of an instruction
bit, we can now remove it from the record.

Hopefully it's not too timing catastrophic. The variable newcrf will
be handy for the other CR ops when we implement them I suspect.

This moves the data formatting for read data to after a register,

These are a copy of the A7-35 definitions with 35 changed to 100.
The A7-100 uses the same .xdc file (arty_a7-35.xdc) as the A7-35
since the only difference between the two is the FPGA part; the
hardware and connections on the two boards are identical.

This moves the negation of negative operands for signed divide and
modulus operations out of the decode2 stage and into the divider.
If either of the operands for a signed divide or modulus operation
is negative, the divider now takes an extra cycle to negate the
operands that are negative.
The interface to the divider now has an 'is_signed' signal rather
than a 'neg_result' signal, and the dividend and divisor can be
negative, so divider_tb had to be updated for the new interface.
The reason for doing this is that one of the worst timing violations
on the Arty A7-100 at 100MHz involved the carry chain in the adders
that did the negation of the dividend and divisor in the decode stage.
Moving the negations to a separate cycle fixes that and also seems to
reduce the total number of slice LUTs used.

This looks for cases where the next 8 bits of the quotient are obviously
going to be zero, because the top 72 bits of the 128-bit dividend
register are all zero. In those cases we shift 8 zero bits into the
quotient and increase count by 8. We only do this if count < 56.

This adds a divider unit, connected to the core in much the same way
that the multiplier unit is connected. The division algorithm is
very simple-minded, taking 64 clock cycles for any division (even
32-bit division instructions).
The decoding is simplified by making use of regularities in the
instruction encoding for div* and mod* instructions. Instead of
having PPC_* encodings from the first-stage decoder for each of the
different div* and mod* instructions, we now just have PPC_DIV and
PPC_MOD, and the inputs to the divider that indicate what sort of
division operation to do are derived from instruction word bits.
