This moves the negation of negative operands for signed divide and
modulus operations out of the decode2 stage and into the divider.
If either of the operands for a signed divide or modulus operation
is negative, the divider now takes an extra cycle to negate the
operands that are negative.
The interface to the divider now has an 'is_signed' signal rather
than a 'neg_result' signal, and the dividend and divisor can be
negative, so divider_tb had to be updated for the new interface.
The reason for doing this is that one of the worst timing violations
on the Arty A7-100 at 100MHz involved the carry chain in the adders
that did the negation of the dividend and divisor in the decode stage.
Moving the negations to a separate cycle fixes that and also seems to
reduce the total number of slice LUTs used.

These are intended to be combinatorial. The previous code was giving
warnings in vivado about registers/latches with no clock defined.

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.

This looks for cases where the next 8 bits of the quotient are obviously
going to be zero, because the top 72 bits of the 128-bit dividend
register are all zero. In those cases we shift 8 zero bits into the
quotient and increase count by 8. We only do this if count < 56.

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 works with both the sim socket and urjtag, and supports the
new core functions, loading a file in memory etc...
The code still needs a lot of cleanup and a help!

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

This adds a local socket that can be used to communicate with
the debug tool (which will be committed separately) and generates
the JTAG signals.
We generate the low level JTAG signals, thus directly driving the
simulated BSCANE2, and the Xilinx DTM

This adds a debug module off the DMI (debug) bus which can act as a
wishbone master to generate read and write cycles.

This adds a simple bus that can be mastered from an external
system via JTAG, which will be used to hookup various debug
modules.
It's loosely based on the RiscV model (hence the DMI name).
The module currently only supports hooking up to a Xilinx BSCANE2
but it shouldn't be too hard to adapt it to support different TAPs
if necessary.
The JTAG protocol proper is not exactly the RiscV one at this point,
though I might still change it.
This comes with some sim variants of Xilinx BSCANE2 and BUFG and a
test bench.

We are seeing some timing issues with the second cycle of loadstore,
and we aren't doing much in the first cycle, so move it here.
