/******************************************************************************
* First-in-first-out byte queue.
*
* This queue is implemented as a circular buffer. 
* The size can be any power of 2. 
* It may be implemented as distributed RAM or block RAM if the size is large. 
* (Vivado does this automatically)
* It is possible to read and write simultaneously as long as the queue is not 
* empty. It is not possible to pass a byte directly from input to output without
* a delay of two clocks if the buffer is empty.
* The input, byte_in, is placed at the tail of the queue at the rising edge of clock.
* The output, byte_out, is prefetched so that it is ready to read before the
* clock edge. The read_next input signal will remove one byte from the head of 
* the queue and put the next byte into byte_out. 
* The data_ready_out output tells if it is possible to read a byte
