Because the PLLs drive global networks, we need to account for
already existing and placed SB_GBs when trying to place/pack them.
Theses can be user instanciated SB_GBs with BEL attribute, or
SB_GB_IOs that got converted during the IO packing.
This patch assumes that:
- If a PLL is used the output A global network is always used, even
if there is no connection to the global output pin
- If a PLL with a singe output is used, then the B output global
network is still free to be used by whatever.

This is mostly for the benefit of PLL placement because the D_IN_x
ports are used for other purposes when PLL is enabled so we need to
make sure nothing is connected there already. (even an unused net is
too much)

We do a pre-pass on all the PLLs to place them before packing.
To place them:
- First pass with all the PADs PLLs since those can only fit at one
specific BEL depending on the input connection
- Second pass with all the dual outputs CORE PLLs. Those can go
anywhere where there is no conflicts with their A & B outputs and
used IO pins
- Third pass with the single output CORE PLLs. Those have the least
constrains.
During theses passes, we also check the validity of all their connections.

We need to take into account the global networks that are already used
and possibly locked to know what we can promote since all networks
can't drive resets / clock-enables

During packing we replace them by standard SB_IO cells and create the
'fake' SB_GB that matches that IO site global buffer connection.
It's done in a separate pass because we need to make sure the nextpnr iob
have been dealt first so we have our final Bel location on the SB_IO.

Those are cells that are created mainly to handle the various sources a
global network can be driven from other than a user net.
When the flag is set, this means the global network usually driven by
this BEL is in fact driven by something else and so that SB_GB BEL and
matching global network can't be used.
This is also what gets used to set the extra bits during bitstream
generation.

Ideally we should first process all the PLL that are constrained somehow
(either explicitely or because they are PAD) and then free place the rest.
