This logs 256 bits of data per cycle to a ring buffer in BRAM. The
data collected can be read out through 2 new SPRs or through the
debug interface.
The new SPRs are LOG_ADDR (724) and LOG_DATA (725). LOG_ADDR contains
the buffer write pointer in the upper 32 bits (in units of entries,
i.e. 32 bytes) and the read pointer in the lower 32 bits (in units of
doublewords, i.e. 8 bytes). Reading LOG_DATA gives the doubleword
from the buffer at the read pointer and increments the read pointer.
Setting bit 31 of LOG_ADDR inhibits the trace log system from writing
to the log buffer, so the contents are stable and can be read.
There are two new debug addresses which function similarly to the
LOG_ADDR and LOG_DATA SPRs. The log is frozen while either or both of
the LOG_ADDR SPR bit 31 or the debug LOG_ADDR register bit 31 are set.
The buffer defaults to 2048 entries, i.e. 64kB. The size is set by
the LOG_LENGTH generic on the core_debug module. Software can
determine the length of the buffer because the length is ORed into the
buffer write pointer in the upper 32 bits of LOG_ADDR. Hence the
length of the buffer can be calculated as 1 << (31 - clz(LOG_ADDR)).
There is a program to format the log entries in a somewhat readable
fashion in scripts/fmt_log/fmt_log.c. The log_entry struct in that
file describes the layout of the bits in the log entries.

This outputs a carriage return rather than a newline after the
display of the progress count during the load and save operations.
This makes the output more compact and better looking.

CFLAGS was defined but not used anywhere. This adds them to the compile
line, and fixes the warnings (and errors!) that result.

This adds a "gpr" command for reading 1 or more GPRs/fast SPRs,
and a "mw" command for writing an 8-byte value to memory. It also
adds an "icreset" command for resetting the instruction cache
and fixes the "creset" command to actually reset the core instead
of starting it. The MSR is now printed along with the NIA in the
status information.

This comes in two parts:
- A generator script which uses LiteX to generate litedram cores
along with their init files for various boards (currently Arty and
Nexys-video). This comes with configs for arty and nexys_video.
- A fusesoc "generator" which uses pre-generated litedram cores
The generation process is manual on purpose. This include pre-generated
cores for the two above boards.
This is done so that one doesn't have to install LiteX to build
microwatt. In addition, the generator script or wrapper vhdl tend to
break when LiteX changes significantly which happens.
This is still rather standalone and hasn't been plumbed into the SoC
or the FPGA toplevel files yet.
At this point LiteDRAM self-initializes using a built-in VexRiscv
"Minimum" core obtained from LiteX and included in this commit. There
is some plumbing to generate and cores that are initialized by Microwatt
directly but this isn't working yet and so isn't enabled yet.

This adds test cases for:
- sc, illegals and decrementer exceptions
- decrementer overflow
- rfid
- mt/mf sprg0/1 srr0/1
- mtdec
- mtmsrd
- sc
It also adds these test cases to make check/check_light

The current version of micropython in tests/micropython.bin is ancient.
Bug #135 points out that more recent versions are much smaller and they
also handle restart when ctrl+D is pressed.

Right now our test cases fold the SPRs into the GPRs. That makes
debugging fails more difficult than it needs to be, so print
out the CTR, LR and CR.
We still need to print the XER, but that is in two spots in microwatt
and will take some more work.
This also adds many instructions to the tests that we have added
lately including overflow instructions, CR logicals and mt/mfxer.

This replaces the simple_ram_behavioural and mw_soc_memory modules

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.

Some VHDL compilers like verific [1] don't like these, so let's remove
them. Lots of random code changes, but passes make check.
Also add basic script to run verific and generate verilog.
