imple e98b3694ab Refine Arty A7 bring-up and memory-map assumptions
Replace the first broad project sketch with more concrete hardware assumptions
for implementation on the Arty A7 100T.

Document the 50 MHz MMCM-derived clock, synchronous active-high reset after the
board reset synchronizer, and a split instruction/data BRAM map with reset PC at
0x2000_0000. Update the UART layout to separate TX, RX, and status registers,
and make the README/roadmap agree on the address ranges that firmware and the
future linker script will use.

Also split the M extension out of the combinational ALU into a dedicated
multi-cycle unit with start/busy/done handshaking, describe BRAM latency and
stall behavior in the single-cycle logical model, and add riscv-tests as the
planned compliance check once GCC-generated programs are running.

imple c7b19e8744 Seed RISC-V core roadmap and project contracts
Establish the repository as a documentation-first plan for a custom
SystemVerilog RISC-V CPU targeting the Digilent Arty A7 100T.

Add the initial README, roadmap, and contributor guidance that define the
starting RV32IM direction, Vivado/RISC-V toolchain expectations, basic
SystemVerilog conventions, and the phased path from an architecture contract
toward a Linux-capable SoC.

This commit intentionally contains planning and interface direction only; RTL,
firmware, testbenches, and Vivado project files are left for later phases.
