build.plat: align pipeline with Fragment.prepare().

Since commit 7257c20a, platform code calls create_missing_domains()
before _propagate_domains_up() (as a part of prepare() call). Since
commit a7be3b48, without a platform, create_missing_domains() is
calle after _propagate_domains_up(); because of that, it adds
the missing domain to the fragment. When platform code then calls
prepare() again, this causes an assertion failure.

The true intent behind the platform code being written this way is
that it *overrides* a part of prepare()'s mechanism. Because it was
not changed when prepare() was modified in 7257c20a, the override,
which happened to work by coincidence, stopped working. This is
now fixed by inlining the relevant parts of Fragment.prepare() into
Platform.prepare().

This is not a great solution, but given the amount of breakage this
causes (no platform-using code works), it is acceptable for now.

    a pile of ad-hoc code with no particular design driving it.

  * The new simulator robustly handles multiclock designs.
  * The new simulator can be reset, such that the compiled design

build.plat,vendor: always synchronize reset in default sync domain.

This change achieves two related goals.

First, default_rst is no longer assumed to be synchronous to
default_clk, which is  the safer option, since it can be connected to
e.g. buttons on some evaluation boards.

Second, since the power-on / configuration reset is inherently
asynchronous to any user clock, the default create_missing_domain()
behavior is to use a reset synchronizer with `0` as input. Since,
like all reset synchronizers, it uses Signal(reset=1) for its
synchronization stages, after power-on reset it keeps its subordinate
clock domain in reset, and releases it after fabric flops start
toggling.

The latter change is helpful to architectures that lack an end-of-
configuration signal, i.e. most of them. ECP5 was already using
a similar scheme (and is not changed here). Xilinx devices with EOS
use EOS to drive a BUFGMUX, which is more efficient than using
a global reset when the design does not need one; Xilinx devices
without EOS use the new scheme. iCE40 requires a post-configuration
timer because of BRAM silicon bug, and was changed to add a reset
synchronizer if user clock is provided.
