[reggen/topgen] Add support for generating random netlist constants

This extends the instantiation paramter feature of reggen/topgen such
that random netlist constants can be generated and assigned in a
systematic way.

To that end, each IP has to declare in the corresponding HJSON which
parameters are compile time random netlist constants. Topgen then
aggregates and uniquifies those parameters, assigns random data and puts
them into a dedicated top-level package which is only meant for random
netlist constants.

The supported random constant types are either "data" which just
corresponds to a randomized logic of a certain length, or "perm" which
corresponds to a random permutation of linear array indices up to a
certain length.

Topgen allows to specify a custom seed inside top_earlgrey.hjson or on
the commandline using the --seed switch in order to make the random
number generation repeatable, if needed.

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.

About this repository

This repository contains hardware, software and utilities written as part of the OpenTitan project. It is structured as monolithic repository, or “monorepo”, where all components live in one repository. It exists to enable collaboration across partners participating in the OpenTitan project.

Documentation

The project contains comprehensive documentation of all IPs and tools. You can access it online at docs.opentitan.org.
