fix: make flash SPI bus electrically independent, drop USRMCLK/CCLK reuse (Phase F7)
The flash subsystem's SCLK previously reused the boot config-SPI's CCLK pad via the ECP5 USRMCLK primitive to save one pin. This made the "exclusive flash bus" claim misleading (SCLK still depended on the config engine's own pad electrically) and carried an unresolved verification gap (USRMCLKTS pad-enable timing never checked against the primary Lattice sysCONFIG Usage Guide). flash_sclk is now a genuine 4th ordinary GPIO pin (E3, bank 7), added purely additively to the real .lpf (git diff: one new line, no existing ball moved). The flash bus is now 4 fully independent wires (sclk/mosi/miso/cs_n), zero pins shared with any ECP5 config primitive -- confirmed by the full-system synthesis reporting USRMCLK 0/1 (0%) utilisation. All 33 project testbenches re-run clean after the port rename (no functional change, only sclk_sim -> sclk). Full-system real synthesis re-verified: 0 constraint errors, Fmax 67.91MHz (up slightly from 66.68MHz, same critical path, not a regression).
