[entropy_src/rtl] Support tight HT thresholds

Adds a new `tight_thresholds_pct` knob to support occasion regressions
with tight HT thresholds.  These tighter thresholds are very good for
emulating the behavior of the DUT when operating with RNG streams with
marginal HT quality, as the tighter thesholds will induce infrequent HT
failures.  Therefore these thresholds are important for closing behavioral
coverage.

This PR:
 - Adds constraints so that only one HT is using tight constraints at
   a time, otherwise the frequent failure of multiple alernating tests
   will lead to zero passing HT windows.
   - Adds new parameters for a second range of tighter thresholds to
     use then tight thresholds are endabled.
 - Limits the fraction of regressions using this feature.
 - Establishes default values for these knobs, and an initial estimate
   for the correct value `entropy_src_rng_test` to provide reasonable
   coverage.

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.
