Philipp Wagner 62f3573f2b Rework how tracer is instantiated and called
This change is slighly painful, but a necessary cleanup around the
tracer.

- We now provide a separate core file for the tracer, called
  "ibex_tracer.core" (in line with "ibex_tracer.sv"). The core is called
  "lowrisc:ibex:ibex_tracer".
- The toplevel wrapper with tracing enabled got renamed to
  "ibex_core_tracing.sv", and the core file is correspondingly called
  "ibex_core_tracing.core. The core in it is called
  "lowrisc:ibex:ibex_core_tracing".
- Finally to keep symmetry, the toplevel of Ibex itself got renamed in
  the core file from "lowrisc:ibex:ibex" to "lowrisc:ibex:ibex_core".
  This ensures that we have the same name for the core file, the source
  entry point, and the core name.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you apply this change and use fusesoc, you need to adjust the name of
the core dependency from "lowrisc:ibex:ibex" to
"lowrisc:ibex:ibex_core".

.. _tracer:
Tracer
======
The module ``ibex_tracer`` can be used to create a log of the executed instructions.
It is used by ``ibex_core_tracing`` which forwards the signals added by :ref:`rvfi` as an input for the tracer.
.. note::
``ibex_tracer`` is not compatible with Verilator.
