exp: fork real board top (fpga_neural_v2_top_openrow.v) with open-row SDRAM backend, verified functionally identical

SPI+board-level smoke test: 11/11 PASS, matching the unmodified
production top exactly. 8-seed nextpnr-ecp5 P&R sweep (N=4, real
v2_board_top.lpf pins, 64MHz target): 8/8 PASS on both, open-row
variant has BETTER margin than baseline (worst 83.34 vs 76.80 MHz,
mean 90.40 vs 82.53 MHz) -- not just no regression, a real improvement.
Not yet promoted over the production fpga_neural_v2_top.v (that swap
is still pending an explicit go-ahead); this commit only adds the
verified fork + its own smoke test, additive only.

// ================================================================
// FPGA-Neural V2 -- BOARD-LEVEL TOP (STEP20, real physical interface)
//
// Wraps the STEP19 frozen compute+memory design (the same submodules
// nms_neural_multiprocessor_sdram_unified.v instantiates -- that file
// itself is NOT instantiated here, since its own reg_*/N_SLOTS+1-port
// AR arbitration needs a second arbitration LEVEL added for the new
// host-raw-SDRAM-access port; this module reproduces that same
// internal wiring plus the extra level, rather than modifying the
// frozen file) with the three things a real physical board needs that
// a testbench does not:
//
// 1. A real SPI host interface (spi_host_bridge.v) in place of the
// 110-pin reg_* testbench bus -- reg_valid/reg_ready/reg_node_id/
// etc are now DRIVEN BY THE BRIDGE, not exposed as top ports.
// 2. A real ECP5 PLL (ecp5_pll_sys_clk.v, EHXPLLL) generating the
// system clock from the board's 16MHz oscillator, instead of
// assuming an already-correct-frequency clock input.
// 3. A real reset/POR synchronizer (reset_sync.v).
//
// nms_dataflow_core_sdram.v, dependency_manager.v, neural_processor.v,
// neural_director.v, slot_mem_arbiter.v, slot_mem_arbiter_wide.v,
// sdram_unified_backend.v, sdram_controller.v are ALL byte-for-byte
// unchanged (STEP19/STEP20 standing constraint) -- this file only
// ADDS one more, already-proven, generically-parameterized
// slot_mem_arbiter instance (N_PORTS=2) to arbitrate the SPI bridge's
// raw host memory port against the existing compute-side AR stream,
// both funneling into the SAME single sdram_unified_backend/
// sdram_controller/AS4C4M16SA-6TIN physical chain STEP19 already
// validated. No V1 RTL is instantiated (STEP19's "zero V1 files in
// the V2 compile list" property is preserved).

// ================================================================
// FPGA-Neural V2 -- board-level top INTEGRATION SMOKE TEST (STEP20)
//
// Proves the NEW STEP20 wiring end-to-end: real SPI transactions (bit-
// banged, mode 0) drive job registration THROUGH spi_host_bridge.v,
// through the real compute+memory pipeline (byte-for-byte identical
// to the already-verified STEP19 nms_neural_multiprocessor_sdram_
// unified.v internals) via the NEW 2-level host-arb AR arbitration,
// down to the SAME single sdram_unified_backend/sdram_controller/
// AS4C4M16SA-6TIN chain -- checked against a real, backdoor-peeked
// SDRAM result. This is NOT a replacement for the STEP19 full 256-
// neuron D-Stress regression (already reconfirmed bit-exact using the
// trusted tool, see errors.log ERR-0024) -- it exists purely to
// validate the NEW pieces this step adds (SPI bridge, PLL-bypass
// clocking, reset_sync, the extra host-arb arbiter level) that
// D-Stress's own tight, back-to-back dispatch loop never exercises:
// realistic, WIDELY TIME-SEPARATED job pacing, as a real host would
// actually issue over SPI.
//
// STATUS (STEP20, ERR-0025 Part B): FIXED. Root cause: nms_weight_
// packed.v / nms_activation_replicated.v used a REGISTERED read (one
// full extra clock of latency) while nms_memory_manager_stream_wide.v's
// own read-ahead pipeline (`rd_pending`) assumes a COMBINATIONAL read
// (issue this cycle, data valid to capture next cycle). A busy multi-
// tile job's own prefetch lead time always absorbs the extra cycle
// invisibly; an uncontested single-tile job's first (only) tile has
// zero such margin and captured stale/zero data permanently. Fixed by
// making both SRAMs' reads combinational (with an explicit same-cycle
// fill/read bypass for the one hazard a combinational read alone would
// still miss). Verified: this test now passes, AND the STEP19 D-Stress
// regression (N=2 49788 cycles, N=4 49771 cycles, both 256/256
// bit-exact) is UNCHANGED -- cycle-for-cycle identical to before the
// fix, since D-Stress's own prefetch margin never depended on the
// extra (buggy) register cycle in the first place.
//
// Six scenarios below, using disjoint SDRAM regions so none interfere:
// A) two jobs, realistic wide SPI pacing (the original failing case)
// B) a single job dispatched alone (twice: neuron0 alone, neuron1 alone)
// C) two jobs back-to-back (minimal CS gap)
// D) two jobs with a large gap (same as A, kept as its own named case)
// G) parametric sweep across several distinct inter-job gaps, proving
// the fix does not depend on any particular cycle count
//
// Weights/activations are preloaded via the same backdoor poke
// convention already used by tb_nms_dstress_sdram_unified.v (direct
// writes into u_sdram.mem[]) -- only JOB REGISTRATION goes through the
// real, physical SPI path, since that is the actual integration
// surface under test. `SIM bypasses the (unsimulatable) EHXPLLL
// primitive inside ecp5_pll_sys_clk.v with a direct pass-through, per
