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.

New example_synth code
`example_synth.rst` updated down to coarse-grain representation.

Initial synth_ice40 example
Overall structure in place to match the iCE40 flow.
Still needs a new example design, and more text for the later sections (which the counter doesn't cover).

TODOs
Blocking tasks are now capital TODO (compared to non-blocking todo).
Updated some of the todos.
Added note about which intel synth does which families.
Rename extended Yosys universe to Yosys family.
Added brief text to landing page, and also a note about the restructure and where to find old docs.
Moved todolist above ToC in preparation for disabling it in the config (so that it doesn't need it's own header).

Fixed pdf build, was previously breaking on trying to include the svg badges.

Removing typical phases doc
Moved remaining content into relevant places.
Added `load_design.rst` to more scripting.
Split fsm handling and abc out of optimization passes. Also moved things around to match the general flow previously described.
Changed generic `synth` for `prep` instead.

WIP merging synth phases with example
Replace `typical_phases.rst` and `examples.rst` with a single `example_synth.rst`.
Also updating the counter example to match.

Aims to reduce redundancy, and simplify the getting started section.
Details on things like `proc`, `memory` and `fsm` should instead be in the advanced section (under the new `synth` subsection).
