[kmac, fpga] Add command delay + accept message while idle for SCA

This commit adds two optional changes to KMAC to simplify SCA
measurements on FPGA:
1. Writes to the command register are presented to the hardware 40 clock
   cycles later to allow Ibex to go to sleep before the operation
   starts. This reduces the noise during SCA measurements. In addition,
   software can write two commands in sequence. The second command is
   buffered internally and will be presented to the hardware 40 cycles
   after the first one. This allows for more efficient SCA measurements
   as Ibex doesn't need to be woken up after the absorb stage to trigger
   the squeeze.
2. KMAC accepts writes to the message FIFO while idle. This allows Ibex
   to provide the message before writing the start command, which
   simplifies SCA measurements.

Both these options are configured via separate parameters with a `Sec`
prefix. They are only enabled on the FPGA platform used for SCA
measurements. On all other platforms, safe default values are used
(both options disabled). Choosing any non-default values will generate
lint errors to reduce the risk of accidentally using these options.

About the project

OpenTitan is an open source silicon Root of Trust (RoT) project. OpenTitan will make the silicon RoT design and implementation more transparent, trustworthy, and secure for enterprises, platform providers, and chip manufacturers. OpenTitan is administered by lowRISC CIC as a collaborative project to produce high quality, open IP for instantiation as a full-featured product. See the OpenTitan site and OpenTitan docs for more information about the project.
