Core and wishbone wrapper with extra stuff for Litex integration

  • create a2o/core.py and a2o.py (SOC) from a2p
  • makes it through vivado compile
  • cleaned up some various minor rtl warnings
  • added parm to cmod7 platform to allow replacing the target fpga device; trying arty-200 to see if it fits as-is - no, but can override?

This design requires 212846 of such cell types but only 134600 compatible sites are available in the target device.
