With arachne-pnr this circuit couldn't hit 60MHz, just barely under it.
OTOH, nextpnr hits about ~68 MHz. So let's set it somewhere inbetween to
make sure this is true over time!

This makes it easier to build separate bitstreams for simulation targets
vs the real bitstream for hardware, without editing any source code.

This dumps a simple IceTime report for the bitstream; we fix the device
package to CT256, corresponding to the HX8K.

The IceStorm example core doesn't include compressed instructions or the
MULT extension; it is an rv32i core, not rv32i[m|c]. If the given
riscv32 toolchain is not explicitly told to generate rv32i code for the
firmware, it may generate invalid instructions which cause a trap during
simulation or on the hardware itself (although CATCH_ILLINSN is set to
zero in this case, too).
Luckily, any rv32i* toolchain (rv32imc for example) can fit the bill
here -- there's no use of libgcc or anything (which might introduce
illegal instructions generated previously) so just forcing the compiler
to generate the right code works nicely.

nextpnr-ice40 gives a better fMAX for this design (by about ~9Mhz for
me: ~59MHz -> ~68MHz) and is The Way Of The Future.

This touches up the Makefile so that it:
- uses $@, $< and $^ in more places for brevity and robustness (typo
guards, etc)
- tracks dependencies slightly better (e.g. .pcf file changes weren't
tracked before)

This fixes the icestorm script to query yosys-config itself for the
right data directory. Not only does this fix installs where yosys was
not installed into /usr/local, it also ensures Icarus picks up a data
directory consistent with the version of yosys that you're using.
