whitequark 081d9318bc ecp5: add support for both 1364.1 and LSE RAM/ROM attributes.
This commit tries to carefully follow the documented behavior of LSE
and Synplify. It will use `syn_ramstyle` attribute if there are any
write ports, and `syn_romstyle` attribute otherwise.
  * LSE supports both `syn_ramstyle` and `syn_romstyle`.
  * Synplify only supports `syn_ramstyle`, with same values as LSE.
  * Synplify also supports `syn_rw_conflict_logic`, which is not
    documented as supported for LSE.

Limitations of the Yosys implementation:
  * LSE/Synplify support `syn_ramstyle="block_ram,no_rw_check"`
    syntax to turn off insertion of transparency logic. There is
    currently no way to support multiple valued attributes in
    memory_bram. It is also not clear if that is a good idea, since
    it can cause sim/synth mismatches.
  * LSE/Synplify/1364.1 support block ROM inference from full case
    statements. Yosys does not currently perform this transformation.
  * LSE/Synplify propagate `syn_ramstyle`/`syn_romstyle` attributes
    from the module to the inner memories. There is currently no way
    to do this in Yosys (attrmvcp only works on cells and wires).

Limitations of the Yosys implementation:
  * LSE/Synplify appear to interpret attribute values insensitive
    to case. There is currently no way to do this in Yosys (attrmap
    can only change case of attribute names).
  * LSE/Synplify support `syn_ramstyle="block_ram,no_rw_check"`
    syntax to turn off insertion of transparency logic. There is
