Clock and reset generation module

This module should be used as the main reset and clock generation module. It

should have the asynchronous resets and unbuffered clock lines coming in, and

depending on defines in the main design file, generate the appropriate clocks

and clock-synchronous resets.

Currently Actel and Xilinx technlogies are supported. It is unclear if the way

it is handling clock-configurations depending on boards is ideal, potentially

it could become very cluttered if further board support is added and this would

need to be looked at.

The technology-dependent modules (PLLs, buffers) instantiated here should be

located under the backend/vendor/rtl paths.

As mentioned previously, it is unclear if this is the best way to manage the

task of clock and reset generation, particularly if further specialised clock

domains wish to be added, however there is some benefit in that it is all

managed in one place and with the strict rules that all clocks and resets come

to this module to be generated.
