feat(v2): M2 Neural Processor Array, N_PROCESSORS resource sweep

Implements M2 of the V2 roadmap: neural_processor_array.v instantiates
N_PROCESSORS independent neural_processor (M1) units, each with its
own dedicated point-to-point job/operand/result interface -- no shared
bus or mux at this level (arbitration is explicitly the Neural
Director's job, M5).

Verified with Verilator (tb_neural_processor_array.v, N_PROCESSORS=4):
7/7 tests pass, including a same-cycle 4-way concurrent launch with
different tile counts and a staggered-start test where a
later-launched, shorter job completes before an earlier-launched,
longer one -- confirming genuine independent concurrent execution
(§18/§34: a blocked/busy processor must not block the others).

Real resource/timing sweep for N_PROCESSORS in {1,2,4,8} (Yosys +
nextpnr-ecp5, real place&route): Fmax stays above the 80MHz target
throughout (159.11 -> 134.70 MHz), but MULT18X18D usage scales
linearly and reaches 88% of the LFE5U-45F's 72 DSPs at N=8 while
LUT/FF stay under 6% -- DSP, not LUT/FF/routing, is the first hard
ceiling on N_PROCESSORS at P_IN=8 (decisions.log DEC-0005). Measured
via a dedicated synthesis-only timing harness after the array's wide
per-processor buses were found to exhaust the device's TRELLIS_IO pin
budget as a bare top-level module beyond N=1 (errors.log ERR-0005) --
not a logic limit, an artifact of testing the array in isolation
before the Memory Manager/Director (M4/M5) exist to consume those
ports on-chip.

Full log trail (development/experiments/errors/decisions/simulation/
synthesis/timing/benchmark.log) in hardware/v2/logs/ per the project's
logging mandate.
