The register file is currently implemented as a whole pile of individual
1-bit registers instead of LUT memory which is a huge waste of FPGA
space.
This is caused by the output signal exposing the register file to the
outside world for simulation debug.
This removes that output, and moves the dumping of the register file
to the register file module itself. This saves about 8% of fpga on
the little Arty A7-35T.

This gets the CI going again, but we will want to fix the test
harness since it's useful to be able to debug the core after it
executes an illegal instruction.

I'm seeing an issue on my version of ghdl:
core.vhdl:137:24:error: actual expression must be globally static

This adds a divider unit, connected to the core in much the same way
that the multiplier unit is connected. The division algorithm is
very simple-minded, taking 64 clock cycles for any division (even
32-bit division instructions).
The decoding is simplified by making use of regularities in the
instruction encoding for div* and mod* instructions. Instead of
having PPC_* encodings from the first-stage decoder for each of the
different div* and mod* instructions, we now just have PPC_DIV and
PPC_MOD, and the inputs to the divider that indicate what sort of
division operation to do are derived from instruction word bits.

This module adds some simple core controls:
reset, stop, start, step
along with icache clear and reading the NIA and core
status bits
