V2.0.0 hardware freeze - single SDRAM

FASE #1 hardware freeze for FPGA-Neural V2, N4/P8, single external
SDRAM (Alliance Memory AS4C4M16SA-6TIN) serving weights, activations,
and results through one physical sdram_controller.v instance. Removes
the PSRAM dependency (hardware/v1/rtl/psram_controller.v +
memory_interface.v) from the V2 physical path entirely -- V1 itself
remains fully unmodified, the golden reference.

New RTL: sdram_unified_backend.v (2-way W/AR arbitration over one
SDRAM controller, real per-byte DQM write masking added to
sdram_controller.v for correct single-byte result writes with no
read-modify-write), nms_neural_multiprocessor_sdram_unified.v (the
frozen top-level). Two real bugs found and fixed via full-system
testing before being accepted (ERR-0023): a deadlock and an off-by-one
data-shift bug in the new arbitration logic.

Real results: N=4 and N=2 D-Stress bit-exact (256/256 neurons), 40
real AUTO REFRESH events interleaved with zero corruption, real
Yosys+nextpnr-ecp5 synthesis/P&R for LFE5U-45F-8CABGA381 (149/245
TRELLIS_IO, a real 45-pin reduction from the prior dual-memory
design). Timing is MARGINAL (1/8 P&R seeds >=80MHz), reported honestly
rather than masked by the best seed.

Real, sourced ball-level pinout for the SDRAM bus + clk/rst (39/149
signals, P&R-verified) using the official Lattice ECP5U-45 pinout CSV
found on disk during this step's own pre-commit review -- corrects an
earlier draft that wrongly assumed no real pinout data was available.

Chip readiness: NO. Real, disclosed blockers remain (no physical host
interface exists yet -- the RTL's own reg_* ports are a 110-pin raw
test-harness bus; clock source/PLL decision; power/configuration
component selection) -- see hardware/v2/docs/{HARDWARE_FREEZE,
CHIP_READINESS,OPEN_ITEMS}.md for the complete, itemized status.

// ================================================================
// FPGA-Neural V2 -- Slot Memory Arbiter (M8, docs/v2-description.md §15)
//
// Generic N_PORTS-way arbiter for dataflow_core.v's per-slot Memory
// Backend Interface ports (docs/v2-description.md §15's "Memory
// Manager -> Memory Backend Interface -> PSRAM Controller" layering),
// funneling N_SLOTS independent memory_manager backend ports down to
// the ONE physical PSRAM port a real chip actually has.
//
// WORD-level (16-bit, + lb_n/ub_n) post-M10 (decisions.log DEC-0015):
// arbitrates hardware/v1/rtl/memory_interface.v's own port shape
// directly (int8_memory_access.v is no longer in this datapath -- see
// memory_manager.v/prefetch_engine.v's own headers for why).
//
// Inspired by (NOT copied from -- see hardware/v2/logs/decisions.log
// DEC-0006's own note) hardware/v1/rtl/mem_arbiter.v: same
// single-owner-until-ready-pulse discipline (a port, once granted,
// holds the shared master port until ITS OWN transaction's m_ready
// pulse, then releases -- no queuing/pipelining needed, since every
// requester already issues a clean one-cycle req pulse matching
// memory_interface's own contract). Generalized from V1's fixed
// 4 named ports (A/B/C/D) to a parametric N_PORTS array, since
// dataflow_core.v's N_SLOTS is itself a parameter.
//
// Priority: fixed, lowest port index wins on a cycle where more than
// one port requests simultaneously while the arbiter is idle -- same
// "first-found, lowest index" convention already used by
// neural_director's free-slot scan and dependency_manager's
// first-ready scan (not fairness-balanced; see decisions.log DEC-0010
// for why that is an acceptable starting point, same rationale as
// neural_director's own "first-free, not load-balanced" choice).
//
// IMPORTANT (found via real concurrent-slot simulation, see
// hardware/v2/logs/errors.log ERR-0008): each port's own s_req is a
// FIRE-AND-FORGET single-cycle pulse (prefetch_engine.v/
// memory_manager.v's own backend protocol -- M4 verified it only
// against a DIRECT 1:1 connection to the backend, which is always
// free to accept it since there is exactly one requester). A naive
// "grant only while req is live" arbiter silently DROPS a pulse that
// arrives while the shared bus is owned by another port, hanging that
// slot's prefetch/writeback forever. Every incoming s_req is therefore
// LATCHED into a per-port `pending` register (capturing wr/addr/wdata/
// lb_n/ub_n the same cycle) regardless of arbiter state -- the same
// single-entry "queue, don't drop the request" idiom already used by
// memory_manager's own pf_pending register (ERR-0006 fix #1). Grants
// are drawn from `pending`, never from a live s_req directly, which
// adds a uniform minimum 1-cycle latency to every transaction (a real,
// measured cost of sharing one PSRAM port -- see timing.log/
// benchmark.log EXP-0009) but never drops a request.
