example_synth: hardware mapping
Filling out the hardware mapping sections, and actually highlighting the changes in schematics instead of just the memory block.
Also includes Part 4 of the coarse-grain rep, looking at `memory_collect` and putting the `synth_ice40 -top fifo -run :map_ram` command in its own (sub)section.
Includes a `no_rw_check` section label in `memory.rst` for reference (because I can't remember how to reference by heading).

Not sure about the opt output after map_ram section which has an open TODO, and the final steps section is also still open.

docs: work on example_synth
Split hardware mapping from `fifo.ys` into `fifo_map.ys`.  Reduces size of `fifo.out` log and allows separate yosys calls in the makefile.

Some tidy up and minor changes in `fifo.ys` for better discussion.
Filled out note on `clean` (changed from `opt_clean`) and introduced `;;`.
Highlighted `$memrd` and added a paragraph about it.
More detail on the flatten and merging of `fifo_reader` block.
Brief discussion on the changes from `$memrd` to `$memrd_v2`.

First pass example_synth done
Split coarse grain representation into 4 parts, loosely: fsm/opt, other optimizations/techmap/memory_dff, DSPs, alumacc/memory -nomap.
Split hardware mapping into subsections as well: memory blocks (map_ram and map_ffram), arithmetic (map_gates), FFs (map_ffs), LUTs (map_luts and briefly abc), and other (map_cells and a note on hilomap and iopadmap).

Also add `-T` flag to Yosys call to remove footer from log output.

More work on example_synth
Added highlighting in (most) schematics.
Written down to end of coarse-grain, with a couple of TODOs for filling in gaps.
Includes `techmap_synth.rst` stub.

Switching example synth to fifo
Fifo code based on SBY quick start.
Instead of showing the full design we are (currently) focusing on a single output (rdata), using `%ci*` to get the subcircuit it relies on.
