feat(v2): M10 Optimization - data-driven findings, completes the V2 roadmap

Final milestone of docs/v2-description.md's §33 roadmap, scoped
exactly to its own mandate: optimize only on data already gathered in
M1-M9, across the pipeline/P_IN/processor-count/scheduling/memory
axes - no speculative new features.

Three concrete, data-driven results:

1. N_SLOTS=8 (numero processor axis): real synthesis + nextpnr-ecp5
   P&R for dataflow_core at N_SLOTS=8, extending M7's N_SLOTS=2/4
   sweep to the real DSP ceiling DEC-0005 predicted. 92.63 MHz
   POST-P&R, PASS at 80MHz, DSP 64/72 (88.9%). DEC-0012 recommends
   N_SLOTS=8 as the practical ceiling for P_IN=8 on the
   LFE5U-45F-8BG381.

2. ACC_WIDTH 24 vs 32 (pipeline axis): a real 6-seed nextpnr-ecp5
   placement sweep (reusing already-synthesized netlists, no new
   synthesis needed) resolves EXP-0002's single-seed
   inconclusiveness. ACC_WIDTH=24 wins on both mean Fmax (+6.2%,
   180.71 vs 170.12 MHz) and seed-to-seed variance (~3.4x tighter),
   on top of its already-known resource advantage. DEC-0013
   recommends ACC_WIDTH=24 as the new default.

3. Stall %/utilization (scheduling/memory axes): testbench-only cycle
   counters added to tb_neural_multiprocessor.v (no RTL touched)
   close DEC-0011's deferred measurement gap with real data - shared
   PSRAM port 81.7% utilized, slot 0 95.2%, slot 1 65.2%, no
   conclusive evidence of harmful fixed-priority starvation at this
   scale.

The 10-milestone V2 roadmap (docs/v2-description.md §33) is now
complete end-to-end: real Verilator simulation, real Yosys synthesis,
real nextpnr-ecp5 place & route for every milestone, fully logged
(EXP-0001..EXP-0013, DEC-0001..DEC-0013, ERR-0001..ERR-0008) with no
invented results (§30) and V1 kept frozen and untouched throughout
(§1/§34).

ACC_WIDTH=24 vince sia in Fmax medio (+6.2%, 180.71 vs 170.12

l'inconcludenza a singolo seed di EXP-0002, nuovo default

## Roadmap completa (§33)
Tutte e 10 le milestone del mandato (`docs/v2-description.md` §33) sono
complete: simulazione reale (Verilator), sintesi reale (Yosys), place &
route reale (nextpnr-ecp5) per ognuna, con log completi in
`hardware/v2/logs/` (EXP-0001..EXP-0013, DEC-0001..DEC-0013,
ERR-0001..ERR-0008). Elementi esplicitamente rimandati (non
dimenticanze, ognuno con la propria motivazione in `decisions.log`):
riuso slot in dependency_manager (DEC-0008), fairness dell'arbitro PSRAM
sotto contesa piu' estesa (DEC-0010), sweep P_IN<8 per N_SLOTS ancora
piu' alto (DEC-0012), riuso dei buffer M3 come cache condivisa
(DEC-0009), strumentazione stall%/utilization completa anche lato V1
(DEC-0011).
