Currently the individual IP core dependencies are tracked inside the
library Makefile for Xilinx IPs and the project Makefiles only reference
the IP cores.
For Altera on the other hand the individual dependencies are tracked inside
the project Makefile. This leads to a lot of duplicated lists and also
means that the project Makefiles need to be regenerated when one of the IP
cores changes their files.
Change the Altera projects to a similar scheme than the Xilinx projects.
The projects themselves only reference the library as a whole as their
dependency while the library Makefile references the individual source
dependencies.
Since on Altera there is no target that has to be generated create a dummy
target called ".timestamp_altera" who's only purpose is to have a timestamp
that is greater or equal to the timestamp of all of the IP core files. This
means the project Makefile can have a dependency on this file and make sure
that the project will be rebuild if any of the files in the library
changes.
This patch contains quite a bit of churn, but hopefully it reduces the
amount of churn in the future when modifying Altera IP cores.

This reduces the amount of boilerplate code that is present in these
Makefiles by a lot.
It also makes it possible to update the Makefile rules in future without
having to re-generate all the Makefiles.

In cases when a shallow FIFO is requested the synthesizer infers distributed RAM
instead of block RAMs. This can be an issue when the clocks of the FIFO are
asynchronous since a timing path is created though the LUTs which implement the
memory, resulting in timing failures. Ignoring timing through the path is not a
solution since would lead to metastability.
This does not happens with block RAMs.
The solution is to use the ad_mem (block RAM) in case of async clocks and letting
the synthesizer do it's job in case of sync clocks for optimal resource utilization.
All the hdl (verilog and vhdl) source files were updated. If a file did not
have any license, it was added into it. Files, which were generated by
a tool (like Matlab) or were took over from other source (like opencores.org),
were unchanged.
New license looks as follows:

Xilinx recommends that all synchronizer flip-flops have
their ASYNC_REG property set to true in order to preserve the
synchronizer cells through any logic optimization during synthesis
and implementation.
Add .gitattributes file which sets up the eol encoding handling. This will
make sure that we get a uniform eol encoding across different operating
systems.

Clean ran for a project will clean only the project files.
Clean-all ran for a project will clean also the library files on which the project depends.
The clean commands will only remove specific files and directories.
The top Makefile allows several options(per suggestion from jameyhicks):
make fmcomms1.zed will run "make all" in projects/fmcomms1/zed/
make clean will run "make clean" for all the projects
make clean-all will run "make clean" for all the projects and libraries
make lib will run "make all" for the library files
