This imports via fusesoc a 16550 compatible (ie "standard") UART,
and wires it up optionally in the SoC instead of the potato one.
This also adds support for a second UART (which is always a
16550) to Arty, wired to JC "bottom" port.

Currently, when not using litedram, the top level still has to hook
up "dummy" wishbones to the main dram and control dram busses coming
out of the SoC and provide ack signals.
Instead, make the SoC generate the acks internally when not using
litedram and use defaults to make the wiring entirely optional.

That way the top-level's don't need to assign them
Also remove generics that are set to the default anyways

This adds an SPI flash controller which supports direct
memory-mapped access to the flash along with a manual
mode to send commands.
The direct mode can be set via generic to default to single
wire or quad mode. The controller supports normal, dual and quad
accesses with configurable commands, clock divider, dummy clocks
etc...
The SPI clock can be an even divider of sys_clk starting at 2
(so max 50Mhz with our typical Arty designs).
A flash offset is carried via generics to syscon to tell SW about
which portion of the flash is reserved for the FPGA bitfile. There
is currently no plumbing to make the CPU reset past that address (TBD).
Note: Operating at 50Mhz has proven unreliable without adding some
delay to the sampling of the input data. I'm working in improving
this, in the meantime, I'm leaving the default set at 25 Mhz.

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.

The old toplevel.vhdl becomes top-generic.vhdl, which is to be used
by platforms that do not have a litedram option.
Arty has its own top-arty.vhdl which supports litedram and is now
hooked up
