Yosys changed command line behaviour following the v0.12 release. Work
around this by using read_verilog, which maintains the old behaviour.
This should work fine for current yosys and be compatible with
future releases.

The existing orange crab target is for an older board with a
LFE5UM5G-85F device. Newer orange crab boards (v0.21) have a
LFE5U-85F device in the -8 speed grade, so make a new target for them
called ORANGE-CRAB-0.21.
Also add flags to ecppack to indicate that the bitstream should be
compressed and can be loaded at 38.8MHz.

I'm not sure why I set the input frequency for the Orange Crab to 50MHz.
Since we easily make timing now, bump our output frequency to 48MHz as
well.

We've been investigating why the barrel rotator uses an enormous
number of cells on the yosys ECP5 target. Eventually it was narrowed
down to the -abc9 -nowidelut options, which see the cell count go from
4985 cells to 841 cells.
Using the same options on an Orange Crab build reduces the cell count
from 50864 to 36085. The main differences:
LUT4 31040 -> 25270
PFUMX 6956 -> 0
L6MUX21 1746 -> 0
CCU2C 2066 -> 1759

The icache RAM is currently LUT ram not block ram. This massively
bloats the icache size. We think this is due to yosys not inferencing
the RAM correctly but that's yet to be confirmed.
Work around this for now by reducing the default size of the icache
RAM for the ECP5 builds.
On the ECP5 85K builts, this gets us from 95% down to 76% and helps
our CI to pass.

This commit also removes the dependencies these testbenches have on VHPIDIRECT.
The use of VHPIDIRECT limits the number of available simulators for the project. Rather than using
foreign functions the testbenches can be implemented entirely in VHDL where equivalent functionality exists.
For these testbenches the VHPIDIRECT-based randomization functions were replaced with VHDL-based functions.
The testbenches recognized by VUnit can be executed in parallel threads for better simulation performance using
the -p option to the run.py script

This adds a GPIO controller which provides 32 bits of I/O. The
registers are modelled on the set used by the gpio-ftgpio010.c driver
in the Linux kernel. Currently there is no interrupt capability
implemented, though an interrupt line from the GPIO subsystem to the
XICS has been connected.
For the Arty A7 board, GPIO lines 0 to 13 are connected to the pins
labelled IO0 to IO13 on the "shield" connector, GPIO lines 14 to 29
connect to IO26 to IO41, GPIO line 30 connects to the pin labelled A
(aka IO42), and GPIO line 31 is connected to LED 7.

This changes the way GPR hazards are detected and tracked. Instead of
having a model of the pipeline in gpr_hazard.vhdl, which has to mirror
the behaviour of the real pipeline exactly, we now assign a 2-bit tag
to each instruction and record which GSPR the instruction writes.
Subsequent instructions that need to use the GSPR get the tag number
and stall until the value with that tag is being written back to the
register file.
For now, the forwarding paths are disabled. That gives about a 8%
reduction in coremark performance.

This adds a true random number generator for the Xilinx FPGAs which
uses a set of chaotic ring oscillators to generate random bits and
then passes them through a Linear Hybrid Cellular Automaton (LHCA) to
remove bias, as described in "High Speed True Random Number Generators
in Xilinx FPGAs" by Catalin Baetoniu of Xilinx Inc., in:
https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/83ac/9e9c1bb3dad5180654984604c8d5d8137412.pdf
This requires adding a .xdc file to tell vivado that the combinatorial
loops that form the ring oscillators are intentional. The same
code should work on other FPGAs as well if their tools can be told to
accept the combinatorial loops.
For simulation, the random.vhdl module gets compiled in, which uses
the pseudorand() function to generate random numbers.
Synthesis using yosys uses nonrandom.vhdl, which always signals an
error, causing darn to return 0xffff_ffff_ffff_ffff.
This adds an implementation of the darn instruction. Darn can return
either raw or conditioned random numbers. On Xilinx FPGAs, reading a
raw random number gives the output of the ring oscillators, and
reading a conditioned random number gives the output of the LHCA.

This allows these targets

FPGA_TARGET=ECP5-EVN make microwatt.bit
Default is ORANGE-CRAB as before
ECP5-EVN is tested on real hardware. The console only works at 38400 so
needs this in console.c and a recompile of hello_world to work:
-#define UART_FREQ 115200
+#define UART_FREQ 38400
With this 'FPGA_TARGET=ECP5-EVN make prog' works on the ECP5 dev board.

This is useful to specify "-noflatten" which helps CI stay under 8GB
limit.
Normally the AUTONAME stage of yosys will take around 10GB if
operating on the whole design. With -noflatten, AUTONAME occurs only
per VHDL entity, so only consumes around 3GB of memory. This gets us
under the limitations on github actions.

The fetch2 stage existed primarily to provide a stash buffer for the
output of icache when a stall occurred. However, we can get the same
effect -- of having the input to decode1 stay unchanged on a stall
cycle -- by using the read enable of the BRAMs in icache, and by
adding logic to keep the outputs unchanged on a clock cycle when
stall_in = 1. This reduces branch and interrupt latency by one
cycle.

The rewrite of the Makefile to use "ghdl -c" somewhat broke building
the unisim library as ghdl doesn't yet support putting files in
separate libraries from a single command line invocation.
The workaround at the time was to put the entire project in "unisim"
which is ... weird and will break if we try to add another library
such as fmf.
This fixes it by generating the library separately using "ghdl -i"

Support for this has bitrotted and would require refactoring of L2 to

This adds a cache between the wishbone and litedram with the following
features (at this point, it's still evolving)
- 128 bytes line width in order to have a reasonable amount of
litedram pipelining on the 128-bit wide data port.
- Configurable geometry otherwise
- Stores are acked immediately on wishbone whether hit or miss
(minus a 2 cycles delay if there's a previous load response in the
way) and sent to LiteDRAM via 8 entries (configurable) store queue

Makefile gunk to verilate it and wrap it for use by ghdl.
The core_dram_tb test bench is a variant of core_tb with
LiteDRAM simulated. It's not built by default, an explicit

is necessary as to not require verilator to be installed for
the normal build process (also it's slow'ish).
