Prior to the 5A series, pin functions (GPIO/SSPI/JTAG/DONE/etc) were
switched using fuses. This was done during the binary image formation
stage for loading into the FPGA using the command line keys of the
gowin_pack program.
The 5A series features certain ports that connect to VCC or GND
depending on whether the pin is used as SSPI or GPIO, for example. This
mechanism exists in parallel with fuses, but it is not described
anywhere, nor is there a corresponding primitive.
To generate working images, we have no choice but to simulate this thing
at the nextpnr stage, since VCC/GND routing is required.
For now, two flags are added, responsible for the SSPI and I2C pin
functions.

Adds automatic connection of a general-purpose pin to the global clock
network.
The old behaviour, where such networks have to be explicitly specified,
can be activated with the command line key
"--vopt disable_gp_clock_routing".

DLLDLY is the clock delay primitive that adjust the input clock
according to the DLLSTEP signal and outputs the delayed clock.
These primitives are associated with clock pins and are "tapped" between
the output of this IBUF and the clock networks, leaving the possibility
to connect to the original unshifted signal as well, although the latter
is not very practical because it is no longer possible to use fast
wires.

Gowin chips have an interesting mechanism - wires that run vertically
through several rows (at least 10) in each column of the chip. In each
row a particular wire has branches to the left and right, covering on
average 4 neighboring cells in the row. For lack of a better term, I
further call such a wire a segment.
So a segment can provide a direct connection in a local rectangle. There
are no special restrictions on the sinks, so segment networks can be
used for ClockEnable, LocalSetReset, as well as for LUT and DFF inputs.
The sources are not so simple - the sources can be the upper or lower
end of the segment, which in theory can lead to unfortunate consequences
if the signal is applied from both ends.
The matter is complicated by the fact that there are default
connections, i.e. in the absence of any set fuse the segment input is
still connected to something (VCC for example) and to disable the unused
end of the segment you need to set a special combination of fuses.
Taking into account which end of which segment is used is one of the
tasks of this router. In addition, segment ends can physically coincide
with PLL, DSP and BSRAM inputs, which can also lead to unexpected
effects. Some of these things are tracked when generating the base, some
in this router, some when packing in gowin_pack.

* Gowin. Add DHCEN primitive.
This primitive allows you to dynamically turn off and turn on the
networks of high-speed clocks.
This is done tracking the routes to the sinks and if the route passes
through a special HCLK MUX (this may be the input MUX or the output MUX,
as well as the interbank MUX), then the control signal of this MUX is
used.

* Gowin Himbaechel: HCLK Bug fixes and corrections
DQCE and DCS primitives are added.
DQCE allows the internal logic to enable or disable the clock network in
the quadrant. When clock network is disabled, all logic drivern by this
clock is no longer toggled, thus reducing the total power consumtion of
the device.
DCS allows you to select one of four sources for two clock wires (6 and 7).
Wires 6 and 7 have not been used up to this point.
Since "hardware" primitives operate strictly in their own quadrants,
user-specified primitives are converted into one or more "hardware"
primitives as needed.
Also:
- minor edits to make the most of helper functions like connectPorts()
- when creating bases, the corresponding constants are assigned to the
VCC and GND wires, but for now huge nodes are used because, for an
unknown reason, the constants mechanism makes large examples
inoperable. So for now we remain on the nodes.
Compatible with older Apicula databases.

As the board on the GW1N-1 chip becomes a rarity, its replacement is the
Tangnano1k board with the GW1NZ-1 chip. This chip has a unique mechanism
for turning off power to important things such as OSC, PLL, etc.
Here we introduce a primitive that allows energy saving to be controlled
dynamically.
We also bring the names of some functions to uniformity.

In the images generated by Gowin IDE, the signals for dynamic BSRAM
block selection (BLKSEL[2:0]) are not always connected directly to the
ports - some chips add LUT2, LUT3 or LUT4 to turn these signals into
Clock Enable. Apparently there are chips with an error in the operation
of these ports.
Here we make such a decoder instead of using ports directly.

It seems that the internal registers on the BSRAM output pins in
READ_MODE=1'b1 (pipeline) mode do not function properly because in the
images generated by Gowin IDE an external register is added to each pin,
and the BSRAM itself switches to READ_MODE=1'b0 (bypass) mode .
This is observed on Tangnano9k and Tangnano20k boards.
Here we repeat this fix.

If the CLKIN input of the PLL is connected to a special pin, then it
makes sense to try to place the PLL so that it uses a direct implicit
non-switched connection to this pin.
The transfer of information about pins for various purposes has been
implemented (clock input signal, feedback, etc), but so far only CLKIN
is used.

The OCE signal in the SP(X)9B primitive is intended to control the
built-in output register. The documentation states that this port is
invalid when READ_MODE=0 is used. However, it has been experimentally
established that you cannot simply apply VCC or GND to it and forget it
- the discrepancy between the signal on this port and the signal on the
CE port leads to both skipping data reading and unnecessary reading
after CE has switched to 0.
Here we force these ports to be connected to the network, except in the
case where the user controls the OCE signal using non-constant signals.
Also:
* All PIPs for clock spines are made inaccessible to the common router
- in general, using these routes for signals that have not been
processed by a special globals router is fraught with effects that
are difficult to detect.
* The INV primitive has been added purely to speed up development -
this primitive is not generated by Yosys, but is almost always
present in vendor output files.

* pROMX9 - read only memory - (bitwidth: 9, 18, 36).
* SDPB - semidual port - (bitwidth: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32).
* SDPX9B - semidual port - (bitwidth: 9, 18, 36).
* DPB - dual port - (bitwidth: 16).
* DPX9B - dual port - (bitwidth: 18).
* SP - single port - (bitwidth: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32).
* SPX9 - single port - (bitwidth: 9, 18, 36).
Also:
- The creation of databases for GW1NS-2 has been removed - this was not
planned to be supported in Himbaechel from the very beginning and
even examples were not created in apicula for this chip due to the
lack of boards with it on sale.
- It is temporarily prohibited to connect DFFs and LUTs into clusters
because for some reason this prevents the creation of images on lower
chips (placer cannot find the placement), although without these
clusters the images are quite working. Requires further research.
- Added creation of ALU with mode 0 - addition. Such an element is not
generated by Yosys, but it is a favorite vendor element and its
support here greatly simplifies the compilation of vendor netlists.
