Use a more generic console_init() instead of potato_uart_init(),
and do the same for interrupt control. There should be no
change in behaviour.

It will look for an ELF binary at the flash offset specified
for the board (currently 0x300000 on Arty but that could be
changed).
Note: litedram is regenerated in order to rebuild the init code,
which was done using a newer version of litedram from LiteX.

Some fields might get extended with extra bits, use the appropriate
masks when reading the values.

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

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).

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.

Things have changed a bit in upstream LiteX. LiteDRAM now exposes a
wishbone for the CSRs for example.

console.c goes to a new lib/ where we'll store other general utilities
and console.h goes to include/

This adds support for initializing the memory controller from microwatt
rather than using a built-in RiscV processor. This might require some
fixes to LiteX and LiteDRAM (they haven't been merged as of this commit
yet).
This is enabled in the shipped generated files and can be changed via
modifying the generator script to pass False to "mw_init"

These provides some info about the SoC (though it's still somewhat
incomplete and needs more work, see comments).
There's also a control register for selecting DRAM vs. BRAM at 0
(and for soft-resetting the SoC but that isn't wired up yet).

This comes in two parts:
- A generator script which uses LiteX to generate litedram cores
along with their init files for various boards (currently Arty and
Nexys-video). This comes with configs for arty and nexys_video.
- A fusesoc "generator" which uses pre-generated litedram cores
The generation process is manual on purpose. This include pre-generated
cores for the two above boards.
This is done so that one doesn't have to install LiteX to build
microwatt. In addition, the generator script or wrapper vhdl tend to
break when LiteX changes significantly which happens.
This is still rather standalone and hasn't been plumbed into the SoC
or the FPGA toplevel files yet.
At this point LiteDRAM self-initializes using a built-in VexRiscv
"Minimum" core obtained from LiteX and included in this commit. There
is some plumbing to generate and cores that are initialized by Microwatt
directly but this isn't working yet and so isn't enabled yet.
