This adds an option to disable the main BRAM and instead copy a
payload stashed along with the init code in the secondary BRAM
into DRAM and boot from there

This adds a simulated litedram model along with the necessary
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
make core_dram_tb
is necessary as to not require verilator to be installed for
the normal build process (also it's slow'ish).

By default openocd tries to "guess" the file type and interpret
it accordingly. For example it will detect an ELF file based on
the presence of an ELF header and will try to load the relevant
segments into the flash.
This may not be what we want. For example, I want to load the raw
ELF file into the flash.
Additionally the ELF parser in most distro's OpenOCD version
only supports ELF32 and will error out.
This adds a "-t" argument to flash-arty to allow us to specify the
file format. For example "-t bin" will treat the file as raw binary.
Unfortunately I had to copy and modify jtagspi.cfg from OpenOCD
to achieve this.

The global wr_en signal is causing Vivado to generate two TDP (True Dual Port)
block RAMs instead of one SDP (Simple Dual Port) for each cache way. Remove
it and instead apply a AND to the individual byte write enables.

Use a simple wire. common.vhdl types are better kept for things
local to the core. We can add more wires later if we need to for
HV irqs etc...

This changes the SoC interconnect such that the main 64-bit wishbone out
of the processor is first split between only 3 slaves (BRAM, DRAM and a
general "IO" bus) instead of all the slaves in the SoC.
The IO bus leg is then latched and down-converted to 32 bits data width,
before going through a second address decoder for the various IO devices.
This significantly reduces routing and timing pressure on the main bus,
allowing to get rid of frequent timing violations when synthetizing on
small'ish FPGAs such as the Artix-7 35T found on the original Arty board.

We still need to a way to our FPGA target on the command line, but this
at least gets us down to a common Makefile.

Instead of building each file one by one (and having to track all
the dependencies manually), use the ghdl -c command that does
analysis and elaboration in one go.

Add a microwatt-verilator target that simulates the
ghdl -> yosys -> verilog -> verilator path. A good test of
ghdl/yosys synthesis.
Because the everything is run through synthesis, the instruction
image is baked into the build via the RAM_INIT_FILE generic.

This adds one-cycle latches to the various resets out of the soc and
into the various core modules. It *seems* to help vivado P&R a bit
and has shown to avoid timing violations under some circumstances.
Interestingly those resets never seem to appear in the bad timing
path. It looks like those long resets simply impose placement
constraints that Vivado satisfies at the expense of timing elsewhere.

When using litedram, request a much longer PLL reset. This seems to
help get rid of all the grabled output after config.
Also use the clean system_rst out of litedram as our source of reset
for the rest of the SoC (it is synchronized with system_clk and takes
pll_locked into account already)
In some cases we need to keep the reset held for much longer,
so use counters rather than shift registers.
Additionally, some signals such as ext_rst and pll_locked
or signals going from the ext_clk domain to the pll_clk
domain need to be treated as async, and testing them without
synchronizers is asking for trouble.
Finally, make the external reset also reset the PLL.
