Use the new axi_rd_wr_combiner module to ... the read and write DMA
interfaces into a single interface. This allows the AXI interconnect
completely optimize itself away and reduce the overall resource utilization
of the project.

The read and write interfaces of a AXI bus are independent other than that
they use the same clock. Yet when connecting a single read-only and a
single write-only interface to a Xilinx AXI interconnect it instantiates
arbitration logic between the two interfaces. This is dead logic and
unnecessarily utilizes the FPGAs resources.
Introduce a new helper module that takes a read-only and a write-only AXI
interface and combines them into a single read-write interface. The only
restriction here is that all three interfaces need to use the same clock.
This module is useful for systems which feature a read DMA and a write DMA.

The register read logic is not that complicated that it needs two extra
pipeline stages. It can easily be condensed into a single combinatorial and
still meet timing with large margins.

Disable registers in the register map which are not needed for this core.
This reduces the utilization of the core.

Not all peripherals use the GPIO register settings, but the registers still
take up a fair amount of space in the register map. Add options to allow to
disable them when not needed. This helps to reduce the utilization for
peripherals where these features are not needed.
