feat(v2): M6 Dependency Manager, multi-dependency wake-up

Implements M6: dependency_manager.v tracks a table of node
descriptors (node_id/state/required_dependencies/resolved_
dependencies/producer_ids -- §10's exact field list), incrementing a
waiting node's resolved count whenever one of its listed producers
completes, transitioning it to READY once resolved==required, and
dispatching ready nodes to the Neural Director (M5) one at a time via
a backpressure-safe valid/ready interface.

Verified with Verilator on a small hand-built DAG: node0/node1 have no
dependencies (dispatch immediately); node2 depends on BOTH node0 AND
node1 ("dipendenze multiple") and stays WAITING until both complete,
confirmed via an explicit negative check after only one resolves;
node3 depends on node0 ALONE, demonstrating a single producer
("node0") satisfying two different consumers' dependencies
("risultati condivisi... piu' consumer") -- node3 fully, node2
partially. 4/4 tests pass.

Scope for this milestone (decisions.log DEC-0008): dependency
COUNTING/readiness only, no direct producer-to-consumer value
forwarding (§11 frames that as a "quando possibile" optimization, not
a correctness requirement -- deferred until real bandwidth
measurements justify it) and no node-slot reclamation after dispatch
(not exercised by any scenario built so far).

Real synthesis: 0 CHECK problems, 763 LUT4/474 FF/0 DSP/0 CCU2C. Real
place&route (module fits the TRELLIS_IO budget as a bare top-level
this time, no harness needed): Fmax 155.30 MHz, PASS at 80MHz.

exact field list), first-found-ready dispatch to the Director.

result:
SIMULATED: 4/4 tests PASS on a small hand-built DAG (node0, node1:
no dependencies; node2: depends on BOTH node0 and node1 --
"dipendenze multiple"; node3: depends on node0 ALONE -- "risultati
condivisi... piu' consumer"): node0/node1 dispatch immediately;
node3 becomes READY the cycle node0's producer_done arrives (before
node1 completes); node2 stays WAITING until BOTH node0 AND node1
have completed, confirmed by an explicit negative check (still
WAITING after only one of its two dependencies resolved).
SYNTHESIZED: 0 CHECK problems, 763 LUT4, 474 TRELLIS_FF, 0 DSP,
0 CCU2C.
POST-P&R (real, no harness needed): Fmax = 155.30 MHz, PASS at
80MHz.
errors: one testbench syntax error (nested nonblocking nested-
replication `{(N){M{1'b0}}}` needs an extra brace level, Verilator
correctly rejected it) -- fixed by building reg_producer_ids via
explicit bit-slice assignment instead of one big concatenation
expression. Not an RTL bug.
decision: see decisions.log DEC-0008 (no value forwarding yet, no
slot reclamation yet -- both explicitly deferred, not missing by
oversight).
next_action: M7 -- dataflow_core.v, integrating Director + Dependency
Manager + Memory Manager + Processor Array + Buffers into one top-
level module for the first time.
