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.

This replaces the arch-specific DelayInfo structure with new DelayPair
(min/max only) and DelayQuad (min/max for both rise and fall) structures
that form part of common code.
This further reduces the amount of arch-specific code; and also provides
useful data structures for timing analysis which will need to delay
with pairs/quads of delays as it is improved.
While there may be a small performance cost to arches that didn't
separate the rise/fall cases (arches that aren't currently separating
the min/max cases just need to be fixed...) in DelayInfo, my expectation
is that inlining will mean this doesn't make much difference.

This Arch API dates from when we were first working out how to
implement placement validity checking, and in practice is little used by
the core parts of placer1/HeAP and the Arch implementation involves a
lot of duplication with isBelLocationValid.
In the short term; placement validity checking is better served by the
combination of checkBelAvail and isValidBelForCellType before placement;
followed by isBelLocationValid after placement (potentially after
moving/swapping multiple cells).
Longer term, removing this API makes things a bit cleaner for a new
validity checking API.

This is a basic implementation, without considering "M of N"
arrangements (e.g. for LUT permuation where you only want to route to 1
out of 4/6 sinks) or using a type other than IdString to identify bel
pins.
But this is also enough to start working out where in nextpnr will break
due to removing the 1:1 cell:bel pin cardinality, as a next step.

As generic is often picked as our 'odd-one-out' we also use it as an
example of an Arch that does not build upon BaseArch.

Single argument constructors will silently convert to that type. This
is typically not the right thing to do. For example, the nexus and
ice40 arch_pybindings.h files were incorrectly parsing bel name strings,
etc.

It has not actually been implemented in any router for over 2.5 years and causes nothing more than confusion. It can always be added back if it forms part of a future solution; possibly as part of a more general database structure rethink.
