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.

This makes the BRAMs use an output buffer, introducing an extra
cycle latency. Without this, Vivado won't make timing at 100Mhz.
We stash all the necessary response data in delayed latches, the
extra cycle is NOT a state in the state machine, thus it's fully
pipelined and doesn't involve stalling.
This introduces an extra non-pipelined cycle for loads with update
to avoid collision on the writeback output between the now delayed
load data and the register update. We could avoid it by moving
the register update in the pipeline bubble created by the extra
update state, but it's a bit trickier, so I leave that for a latter
optimization.

This adds support for set associativity to the icache. It can still
be direct mapped by setting NUM_WAYS to 1.
The replacement policy uses a simple tree-PLRU for each set.
This is only lightly tested, tests pass but I have to double check
that we are using the ways effectively and not creating duplicates.
