The axi_dmac core is now capable of detecting whether its different parts
run in different clock domains or not. No need to configure it manually any
more.

Configure the maximum burst size as well as the maximum number of active
requests on the AXI master interfaces according to the core configuration.
This allows connected slaves to know what kind of requests to expect and
allows them to configure themselves accordingly.

The axi_dmac core does not issue narrow AXI bursts. Indicate this by
setting the SUPPORTS_NARROW_BURST property to 0 on both AXI master
interfaces.
This allows connected slaves to know that they will not receive narrow
bursts, which allows them to disable support for it.

The axi_dmac core generates requests which are both AXI3 and AXI4
compliant. This means it is possible to connect it to both a AXI3 or AXI4
slave port without needing a AXI protocol converter. Unfortunately it is
not possible to declare a port as both AXI3 and AXI4 compliant, so the core
has the C_DMA_AXI_PROTCOL_SRC and C_DMA_AXI_PROTOCOL_DEST parameters, which
allow to configure the protocol type of the corresponding AXI master
interface. Currently the default is always AXI4.
But when being used on ZYNQ it is most likely that the AXI master interface
of the DMAC core ends up being connected to the AXI3, so change the default
to AXI3 if the core is instantiated in a ZYNQ design.
The default can still be overwritten by explicitly setting the
configuration property.

Add support for querying the clock domains of the clock pins for the
axi_dmac controller. This allows the core to automatically figure out
whether its different parts run in different clock domains or not and setup
the configuration parameters accordingly.
Being able to auto-detect those configuration parameters makes the core
easier to use and also avoids accidental misconfiguration.
It is still possible to automatically overwrite the configuration
parameters by hand if necessary.

bd files can be used to automate certain tasks in IP integrator when the
core is instantiated. Add a helper command for adding such files to a core.

For the source controller use the pause signal that has been properly
transferred to the source clock domain rather than the pause signal from
the request clock domain.

When having multiple DMA cores sharing the same constraint file Vivado
seems to apply the constraints from the first core to all the other cores
when re-running synthesis and implementation from within the Vivado GUI.
This causes wrong timing constraints if the DMA cores have different
configurations. To avoid this issue use a TTCL template that generates a
custom constraint file for each DMA core instance.
This also allows us to drop the asynchronous clock detection hack from the
constraint file and move it to the template and only generate the CDC
constraints if the clock domains are asynchronous.

The synchronization interface is a single bidirectional line. Output for Master, input for Slave.
The sync_period value is relative to frame length and the digital interface clock. The actual synchronization
period will be: sync_period * frame_length * fb_clock_cycle
The converters on the usdrx1 generate 2.5GB/s. This more than we can
transport over the HP interconnects to the system memory.
Add a dedicated DDR FIFO to design which can be used to buffer the data
before it is transferred to the main memory.
Also increase the interconnect clock rate from 100MHz to 200MHz and the DMA
FIFO size from 4 to 8, so we can transfer the captured data faster to the
main memory.

The memory mapped AXI interfaces for the AXI-DMAC are uni-directional.
Which means they are either write-only or read-only. Unfortunately the
Altera tools can't handle this, so we had to add dummy signals for the
other direction.
The Xilinx tools on the other hand handle uni-directional AXI interfaces
and in fact IPI can do a better job and use less resources when creating
the AXI interconnects when it knows that the interface is uni-directional.
So always disable the dummy ports for the IPI package.
