feat: integrate flash #1 (neural-network data) RTL into V2 top-level

Browse Source 
Closes the flash #1 RTL gap flagged in DEC-0041: real, unmodified V1
subsystem (flash_slot_manager.v/flash_copy_engine.v/spi_flash_master.v/
crc32.v) now instantiated in fpga_neural_v2_top.v, bridged to the AR
memory bus via a new flash_mem_adapter.v (byte<->word, matches
nms_memory_manager_stream_wide.v's own real masking convention), and
commandable over SPI via a new spi_host_bridge.v opcode (OP_FLASH_CMD,
0x30) using the same byte-counting idiom as OP_WRITE_JOB. Real balls
now in the LPF: flash_sclk=B2, flash_mosi=E2, flash_miso=F2,
flash_cs_n=F3.

New tb_flash_integration_smoke.v: real SPI-triggered OP_FLASH_READ_BLOCK
verified bit-exact (64/64 bytes) against a real V1 flash_model.v
instance, through the new adapter and the widened (2->3 port) host-arb
arbiter; WRITE_JOB regression confirms the new 3rd port doesn't disturb
existing traffic. Full existing regression re-run clean: D-Stress N=4/
N=8 (bit-exact + data_ready PASS), board-level smoke test (11/11),
isolated spi_host_bridge test (18/18).

Honest, disclosed finding: a full 8-seed P&R re-verification shows
N_SLOTS=4 @ 64MHz regressed from 8/8 to 3/8 PASS (worst 60.18MHz).
Root cause traced via the real critical-path report: the SAME
pre-existing arbiter-to-sdram-backend bottleneck already documented all
session, made worse by flash's added die-area placement pressure --
not a new path through the flash logic itself. N_SLOTS=8 essentially
unchanged (6/8, was 5/8). See decisions.log DEC-0042 for full detail
and open decision points.

// ================================================================
// FPGA-Neural V2 -- Flash #1 (neural-network data) integration smoke
// test (2026-09-07)
//
// Proves the NEW wiring this session adds end-to-end: a real SPI
// OP_FLASH_CMD transaction (bit-banged, mode 0) drives
// spi_host_bridge.v's own new flash_* command ports, into the real,
// UNCHANGED V1 flash_slot_manager.v (which owns flash_copy_engine.v,
// which owns spi_flash_master.v -- all three reused byte-for-byte,
// zero modifications, per their own header comments), through the
// NEW flash_mem_adapter.v (byte<->word bridge), into the NEW third
// port of the host-arb slot_mem_arbiter (N_PORTS 2->3), down to the
// same real sdram_unified_backend/sdram_controller/AS4C32M16SB-7BIN
// chain already used by every other traffic class -- checked against
// a real, backdoor-peeked SDRAM result.
//
// Uses OP_FLASH_READ_BLOCK (op_code=4): the simplest real operation
// that exercises the full new path without needing catalog/slot setup
// (raw flash_addr -> ext_psram_addr, explicit length) -- flash_slot_
// manager.v's own real semantics, confirmed by inspection.
//
// flash_model.v (real, unmodified V1 SPI-flash simulation model,
// erase-state 0xFF, real Winbond command set) is preloaded with a
// known byte pattern at a known flash address; after the SPI-
// triggered read-block completes, the destination SDRAM region is
// backdoor-peeked and compared byte-for-byte against that same known
// pattern.
