Boards with Gowin chips are supported in the Himbaechel architecture
with much greater correctness and a wider range of primitives.
In fact, at the moment the advice “use himbaechel-gowin” immediately
solves a
significant part of the issues opened by users.
Of course, you need to wait for amendments to oss-cad-suite, at least

Due to the way CMake-generated Makefiles evaluate dependencies, this
calls the `.bba` generation custom command twice, which then fails as
they both use the same `.bba.new` file as an output and one of them
moves it first.
This broke builds using `make -j` but not builds using
`make -j nextpnr-himbaechel-example`.
This is useful for certain cross-compilation workloads, and to cache
rarely changing build products.
To use this functionality, build e.g. as follows:
cmake . -B build-export -DEXPORT_BBA_FILES=../bba-files -DARCH=all
cmake --build build-export -t nextpnr-all-bba
cmake . -B build-import -DIMPORT_BBA_FILES=../bba-files -DARCH=all
cmake --build build-import
The impetus for this commit is the fact that it causes rare but
build-breaking race conditions when used with `make -jN` with `N > 1`.
These race conditions are difficult to track down or fix because of
the very rudmentary debugging tools provided by `make` and opaque
semantics of CMake's Makefile generator. They break the build by
running two `.bba` generation processes, then one of them renaming
the `.bba.new` file once it's done, leaving the other one to fail.
After reflection (as the author of this code path) and discussion with
community members who use it, I've concluded that this isn't the right
approach.
1. In practice, on targets where `-DSERIALIZE_CHIPDBS=` matters, you
also care about other build steps, like linking nextpnr, which
are not serializable this way. So you use a workaround anyway, like
`make`ing individual targets instead.
2. The way to serialize the build with Make is the `-j1` option. Trying
to work around `-jN` to make it work like `-j1` is inherently error
prone. While there is some utility in not serializing C++ compilation
this utility could be more easily achieved by providing a single
target that builds all chipdbs, running `make <chipdb-target> -j1`,
then running `make -jN` for the rest of the build.
Two user-visible changes were made:
* `-DUSE_RUST` is replaced with `-DBUILD_RUST`, by analogy with
`-DBUILD_PYTHON`
* `-DCOVERAGE` was removed as it doesn't work with either modern GCC
or Clang
This removes the atomic rename for bbasm outputs because it embeds
the resulting paths into the `.cc` files in embed mode. In any case
the write should be fast enough to not be a big risk for interrupted
builds.
This was tested with Clang 19 only (gcc hasn't had a release that
supports `#embed` yet).
While it served a purpose (granting the ability to build `.bba` files
separately from the rest of nextpnr), it made things excessively
convoluted, especially around paths.
This commit removes the ability to pre-generate chip databases. As far
as I know, I was the primary user of that feature. It can be added back
if there is demand for it.
In exchange the per-family `CMakeLists.txt` files are now much easier
to understand.
The two main changes, done together in this commit, are:
* Eliminating most instances of `aux_source_directory()`, replacing
them with explicit file listings; and
* Moving these file listings into respective subdirectories by
representing respective nextpnr components as interface libraries.
In addition, the GUI CMake script tree was simplified since it had
a lot of unused/redundant code.
The `aux_source_directory()` command is not recommended for use by
CMake itself because it misses dependency changes when adding/removing
files, and consequently causes build failures requiring a clean rebuild.
This commit does not touch anything related to architectures/families,
which are very complex and redundant all on their own.

Eigen considers the EIGEN3_INCLUDE_DIRS and EIGEN3_DEFINITIONS variables
to be deprecated and they will no longer be exported in the next release
after 3.4.0:
f2984cd077
Use the IMPORTED target instead, which seems to be the preferred way of
consuming third-party CMake libraries.
Currently the lookahead is disabled by default because of the time to
compute and RAM usage. However it does appear to work reasonably well
in testing. Further effort is required to lower RAM usage after initial
computation, and explore trade-off for cheaper time to compute.
