Peter McGoron 88e3d15dd8 Get PicoRV32 to execute code
1. Update LiteX to 2023.12. This update adds wishbone bus addressing
   modes. Before this update, all wishbone buses used word addressing.
   For example, 0x0 mapped to word 0, 0x0 mapped to word 1, etc. This
   caused problems with the PicoRV32 and other modules, which are byte
   addressed.
2. Use adapter to convert between byte and word addressing. The SRAM is
   word addressed. The PicoRV32 shifts the address down by two bits to
   address the correct word. The PicoRV32 core seems to expect this.
3. Add debug register output. This is not working yet.
4. Use LiteX PicoRV32 wishbone adapter instead of PicoRV32 default. This
   seems to be simpler (combinatorial not synchronous).
5. Add some documentation.
6. Seperate config to new config file.

Peter McGoron 06cf8807c3 Progress on PicoRV32
1) The PicoRV32 bus was not generated correctly. Running "finalize" on
   the bus, which is what the SoC does, does not generate the bus logic
   correctly. I don't know if  this is a bug or if the SoC bus generator is
   only meant to be used in the main SoC.

   Currently the bus logic is copied from the LiteX finalize code.

2) Add test micropython code to load code.

3) Removed BRAM. The Wishbone cache was messing with the direct
   implementation of the BRAM because the BRAM did not implement all the
   bus features correctly. LiteX has a Wishbone "SRAM" module, and despite
   it's name it can also generate BRAM if there are available BRAM. This is
   how the ROM and the startup RAM are implemented. The PicoRV32 ram
   is now using this SRAM.
