feat: SDRAM 8MB->64MB upgrade (AS4C32M16SB-7BIN) + N_SLOTS=8 support

Memory upgrade, at the user's own explicit request: Alliance Memory
AS4C4M16SA-6TIN (64Mbit/8MB) -> AS4C32M16SB-7BIN (512Mbit/64MB, 54-ball
TFBGA), the largest same-family SDR SDRAM Alliance Memory offers.
Real-datasheet-driven (whole AS4C4M16SA/AS4C8M16SA/AS4C16M16SA/
AS4C32M16SA family investigated): 13 row bits (was 12, one new FPGA
pin sdram_a[12]/ball F1), 10 column bits (was 8), real -7-grade AC
timing (tRCD/tRP improved to 15ns, tREFI halved to 7.8us for the
doubled row count). sdram_controller.v and sdram_model.v gained real
ROW_BITS/COL_BITS/BANK_BITS parameters (was hardcoded 12/8/2).

ADDR_WIDTH widened 23->26 bits across the live instantiation tree.
This required a real SPI protocol change (spi_host_bridge.v): a 26-bit
byte address no longer fits in 3 bytes -- every address field widened
3->4 bytes (WRITE_JOB 15->18 payload bytes, WRITE_MEM/READ_MEM header
5->6 bytes).

Found and fixed two real timing regressions via nextpnr-ecp5 P&R
(not assumed): neural_director.v's own runtime-indexed demux write
(ERR-0027, was silently synthesizing an extra MULT18X18D) and
nms_activation_fill_ctrl_v3.v's own linear N_SLOTS-wide max-scan
(ERR-0028, became dominant at N_SLOTS=8) -- both replaced with
constant-indexed/tree-based equivalents, bit-exact same behavior,
confirmed via full D-Stress N=2/4/8 regression (identical cycle
counts). N_SLOTS=4 now fully closes timing at 64MHz (8/8 seeds);
N_SLOTS=8 significantly improved but not yet fully reliable (5/8
seeds) -- honestly disclosed, not claimed complete.

Full regression re-verified: sdram_controller (461/461, 18 configs),
tb_sdram_boundary (21/21), D-Stress N=2/4/8 (bit-exact), spi_host_bridge
(18/18), board-level SPI smoke test (11/11), unified backend (40/40).

See hardware/v2/docs/MEMORY_UPGRADE_64MB_N8.md for the full
investigation, and errors.log/decisions.log (ERR-0027, ERR-0028,
DEC-0039) for the complete root-cause writeups.
