Joris van Zwieten 1c85dee263 himbaechel/xilinx: place cascaded RAMB36 pairs as clusters
CASCADEOUTA/B -> CASCADEINA/B are dedicated wires that only reach the
vertically adjacent RAMB36 site in the same column; the router has no
general path for them. Without a placement constraint the two cells
of a depth-cascaded pair land on arbitrary sites and routing fails.

Cluster each cascade pair in pack_bram (analogous to carry chains).
Plain relative (x,y,z) constraints cannot express "next RAMB36 up the
column": bel z indices are not uniform across BRAM tiles. Instead,
precompute a next-RAMB36-in-column map at init and resolve child bels
through a getClusterPlacement override.

Hardware-verified on xc7a100t: cascaded 64K x 1 memories place, route
and function (128K ROM content fingerprint passes).
