execute1: Handle interrupts during sequences of load/store operations
At present the logic prevents any interrupts from being handled while
there is a load/store instruction (one that has unit=LDST) being
executed. However, load/store instructions can still get sent to
loadstore1. Thus an instruction which should generate an interrupt
such as a floating-point unavailable interrupt will instead get
executed.
To fix this, when we detect that an interrupt should be generated but
loadstore1 is still executing a previous instruction, we don't execute
any new instructions, and set a new r.intr_pending flag. That results
in busy_out being asserted (meaning that no further instructions will
come in from decode2). When loadstore1 has finished the instructions
it has, the interrupt gets sent to writeback. If one of the
instructions in loadstore1 generates an interrupt in the meantime, the
l_in.interrupt signal gets asserted and that clears r.intr_pending, so
the interrupt we detected gets discarded.

Replaced VHDL assert and report with VUnit checking and logging
The VUnit log package is a SW style logging framework in VHDL and the check package is an assertion library doing its error reporting with VUnit logging.
These testbenches don't use, and do not need, very advanced logging/checking features but the following was possible to improve
- Checking equality in VHDL can be quite tedious with a lot of type conversions and long message strings to explain the data received and what was expected.
VUnit's check_equal procedure allow comparison between same or similar types and automatically create the error message for you.
- The code has report statements used for testbench progress reporting and debugging. These were replaced with the info and debug procedures.
info logs are visible by default while debug is not. This means that debug logs don't have to be commented, which they are now, when not used.
Instead there is a show procedure making debug messages visible. The show procedure has been commented to hide the debug messages but a more elegant
solution is to control visibility from a generic and then set that generic from the command line. I've left this as a TODO but the run script allow you to
extend the standard CLI of VUnit to add new options and you can also set generics from the run script.
- VUnit log messages are color coded if color codes are supported by the terminal. It makes it quicker to spot messages of different types when there are many log messages.
Error messages will always be made visible on the terminal but you must use the -v (verbose) to see other logs.
- Some tests have a lot of "metvalue detected" warning messages from the numeric_std package and these clutter the logs when using the -v option. VUnit has a simulator independent
option allowing you to suppress those messages. That option has been enabled.

Organized VUnit testbenches into test cases.
Several of the testbenches have stimuli code divided into sections preceded with a header comment explaining
what is being tested. These sections have been made into VUnit test cases. The default behavior of VUnit is
to run each test case in a separate simulation which comes with a number of benefits:
* A failing test case doesn't prevent other test cases to be executed
* Test cases are independent. A test case cannot fail as a side-effect to a problem with another test case
* Test execution can be more parallelized and the overall test execution time reduced

arty_a7: Add litesdcard interface
This adds litesdcard.v generated from the litex/litesdcard project,
along with logic in top-arty.vhdl to connect it into the system.
There is now a DMA wishbone coming in to soc.vhdl which is narrower
than the other wishbone masters (it has 32-bit data rather than
64-bit) so there is a widening/narrowing adapter between it and the
main wishbone master arbiter.
Also, litesdcard generates a non-pipelined wishbone for its DMA
connection, which needs to be converted to a pipelined wishbone. We
have a latch on both the incoming and outgoing sides of the wishbone
in order to help make timing (at the cost of two extra cycles of
latency).
litesdcard generates an interrupt signal which is wired up to input 3
of the ICS (IRQ 19).

core: Allow multiple loadstore instructions to be in flight
The idea here is that we can have multiple instructions in progress at
the same time as long as they all go to the same unit, because that
unit will keep them in order. If we get an instruction for a
different unit, we wait for all the previous instructions to finish
before executing it. Since the loadstore unit is the only one that is
currently pipelined, this boils down to saying that loadstore
instructions can go ahead while l_in.in_progress = 1 but other
instructions have to wait until it is 0.
This gives a 2% increase on coremark performance on the Arty A7-100
(from ~190 to ~194).

loadstore: Convert to 3-stage pipeline
This makes loadstore use a 3-stage pipeline. For now, only one
instruction goes through the pipe at a time. Completion and writeback
are still combinatorial off the valid signal back from the dcache, so
performance should be the same as before. In future it should be able
to sustain one load or store per cycle provided they hit in the
dcache.

dcache: Fix bugs in pipelined operation
This fixes two bugs which show up when multiple operations are in
flight in the dcache, and adds a 'hold' input which will be needed
when loadstore1 is pipelined.
The first bug is that dcache needs to sample the data for a store on
the cycle after the store request comes in even if the store request
is held up because of a previous request (e.g. if the previous request
is a load miss or a dcbz).
The second bug is that a load request coming in for a cache line being
refilled needs to be handled immediately in the case where it is for
the row whose data arrives on the same cycle. If it is not, then it
will be handled as a separate cache miss and the cache line will be
refilled again into a different way, leading to two ways both being
valid for the same tag. This can lead to data corruption, in the
scenario where subsequent writes go to one of the ways and then that
way gets displaced but the other way doesn't. This bug could in
principle show up even without having multiple operations in flight in
the dcache.

This changes the bypass path. Previously it went from after

execute1's output register to before decode2's output register. The

core: Track GPR hazards using tags that propagate through the pipelines
This changes the way GPR hazards are detected and tracked. Instead of
having a model of the pipeline in gpr_hazard.vhdl, which has to mirror
the behaviour of the real pipeline exactly, we now assign a 2-bit tag
to each instruction and record which GSPR the instruction writes.
Subsequent instructions that need to use the GSPR get the tag number
and stall until the value with that tag is being written back to the
register file.
For now, the forwarding paths are disabled. That gives about a 8%
reduction in coremark performance.

fetch1: Implement a simple branch target cache
This implements a cache in fetch1, where each entry stores the address
of a simple branch instruction (b or bc) and the target of the branch.
When fetching sequentially, if the address being fetched matches the
cache entry, then fetching will be redirected to the branch target.
The cache has 1024 entries and is direct-mapped, i.e. indexed by bits
11..2 of the NIA.
The bus from execute1 now carries information about taken and
not-taken simple branches, which fetch1 uses to update the cache.
The cache entry is updated for both taken and not-taken branches, with
the valid bit being set if the branch was taken and cleared if the
branch was not taken.
If fetching is redirected to the branch target then that goes down the
pipe as a predicted-taken branch, and decode1 does not do any static
branch prediction. If fetching is not redirected, then the next
instruction goes down the pipe as normal and decode1 does its static
branch prediction.
In order to make timing, the lookup of the cache is pipelined, so on
each cycle the cache entry for the current NIA + 8 is read. This
means that after a redirect (from decode1 or execute1), only the third
and subsequent sequentially-fetched instructions will be able to be
predicted.
This improves the coremark value on the Arty A7-100 from about 180 to
about 190 (more than 5%).
The BTC is optional. Builds for the Artix 7 35-T part have it off by
default because the extra ~1420 LUTs it takes mean that the design
doesn't fit on the Arty A7-35 board.
