Random constants are sent through the hierarchy as parameters in-line
with other OpenTitan modules.

Although CSR_SECURESEED is unreadable, an attacker can write a new seed,
which brings convenience to the attack. This patch is used to XOR the
historical seed, so that even if the attacker writes a new value to
CSR_SECURESEED , he cannot know the value of the seed.

- Adds a new module in the IF stage to inject dummy instructions into
the pipeline
- Control / frequency of insertion is governed by configuration CSRs
- Extra CSR added to allow reseed of the internal LFSR useed for
randomizing insertion
- Extra logic added to the register file to make dummy instruction
writebacks look like real intructions (via the zero register)
