PoC: PicoRV32 interrupts
A proof-of-concept of enabling PicoRV32 interrupts. Two interrupt
sources, which can be triggered by writes to memory addresses, are
added.  The design has only been simulated, not run on hardware.

Synthesis:

Ice40 LC utilization is 93% (4934/5280) when built using tkey-builder:4

Simulation:

A `tb_application_fpga_irqpoc` target is added. Running `make
tb_application_fpga_irqpoc` creates `tb_application_fpga_sim.fst` which
can be inspected in GTKWave or Surfer.

Firmware:

A simple firmware is added in `fw/irqpoc`. It enables both interrupts
and triggers each interrupt once.

Custom PicoRV32 instructions are located in `custom_ops.S`. It is
imported from upstream PicoRV32 commit:

fpga: remove the API for configuring the UART core
This removes the possibility to configure the bit rate, data bits and
stop bits at runtime from the API. This reduces the
usage of LCs with ~4%.

It is still possible to configure the core before building.

Revise top-level README for the hardware design
Merged information from fpga.md, and hence fpga.md is removed.
