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.

Move the CDC helper modules to a dedicated helper modules. This makes it
possible to reference them without having to use file paths that go outside
of the referencing project's directory.

SPI Engine is a highly flexible and powerful SPI controller framework. It
consist out of multiple sub-modules which communicate over well defined
interfaces. This allows a high degree of flexibility and re-usability while
at the same time staying highly customizable and easily extensible.
Currently included are four components:
* SPI Engine execution module: The excution module is responsible for
handling the low-level physical interface SPI logic.
* SPI Engine AXI interface module: The AXI interface module allows
memory mapped acccess to a SPI bus control stream and can be used to
implement a software driver that controls the SPI bus.
* SPI Engine offload module: The offload module allows to store a
predefined SPI Engine command and data stream which will be send out
when a external trigger signal is asserted.
* SPI Engine interconnect module: The interconnect module allows to
combine multiple control streams into a single stream giving multiple
control modules access to a execution module.
