This makes predictDelay be based on an arbitrary belpin pair rather
than a arc of a net based on cell placement. This way 'what-if'
decisions can be evaluated without actually changing placement;
potentially useful for parallel placement.
A new helper predictArcDelay behaves like the old predictDelay to
minimise the impact on existing passes; only arches need be updated.

Clustering greatly helps the placer to identify and pack together
specific cells at the same site (e.g. LUT+FF), or cells that are chained through
dedicated interconnections (e.g. CARRY CHAINS)

Previous pseudo pips were the same cost as regular pips, but this is
definitely too fast, and meant that the router was prefering them.

This prevents the general router from routing through sites, which is
not legal in FPGA interchange.

- Finishes implementation of SiteArch::nameOfPip and SiteArch::nameOfWire
- Adds "explain_bel_status", which should be an exhaustive diagnostic
of the status of a BEL placement.

If get_net_type was called before the driver was placed, it could return
the wrong value.

For now just implements some inspection capabilities, and the site
router (for now) avoids inverted paths.

Currently the lookahead is disabled by default because of the time to
compute and RAM usage. However it does appear to work reasonably well
in testing. Further effort is required to lower RAM usage after initial
computation, and explore trade-off for cheaper time to compute.

The new site router should be robust to most situations, and isn't
significantly slower with the use of caching.

This is important for distiguishing valid pseudo pips in the FPGA
interchange arch. This also avoids a double or triple lookup of
pip->net map.

"nextpnr.h" is no longer the god header. Important improvements:
- Functions in log.h can be used without including
BaseCtx/Arch/Context. This means that log_X functions can be called
without included "nextpnr.h"
- NPNR_ASSERT can be used without including "nextpnr.h" by including
"nextpnr_assertions.h". This allows NPNR_ASSERT to be used safely in
any header file.
- Types defined in "archdefs.h" are now available without including
BaseCtx/Arch/Context. This means that utility classes that will be
used inside of BaseCtx/Arch/Context can be defined safely in a
self-contained header.
