Also:
* update dependencies.
* add amaranth-soc as a dependency, in order to reuse its bus
interfaces (e.g. Wishbone).
* add a `prog` argument to PowerFVSession that overrides the name of
its CLI.
* A PowerFVSession class provides a REPL interface. Functionality is
split into commands (e.g. add checks, build) which can be provided
interactively or from a file.
See cores/microwatt for an example of its integration.
* Instruction specifications are now separated from verification
testbenches.
An InsnSpec class provides a behavioral model using the same PowerFV
interface as a core. This interface is output-only for a core, but
bidirectional for the InsnSpec:
- fields related to context (e.g. read data) are inputs,
- fields related to side-effects (e.g. write strobes) are outputs.
The testbench is responsible for driving inputs to the same values
as the core, then check outputs for equivalence. This decoupling
provides a path towards using PowerFV in simulation.
* Instruction encodings are now defined by their fields, not their
format (which was problematic e.g. X-form has dozens of variants).
Field declarations can be preset to a value, or left undefined. In
the latter case, they are implicitly cast to AnyConst (which is
useful for arbitrary values like immediates).
