Max P abb4a9f10a Enhance Pipeline Controller and Register with AXI-Like Handshaking and Register Rebalancing
- Introduce comprehensive documentation for Pipeline Controller and Register, detailing core functions, generics, ports, and processes. Focus on data flow control, validity control, adjustability, and register rebalancing mechanisms.
- Implement AXI-Like handshaking in Pipeline Controller for improved input and output data handling, supporting active-high ready and valid signals for efficient data transfer.
- Refine Pipeline Register with register rebalancing options (no, yes, forward, backward) to optimize combinatorial logic pipelining in synthesis, configurable via `G_RegisterBalancing` generic.
- Update generics and ports descriptions to reflect the inclusion of I/O FFs in pipeline depth calculation and clarify the reset active level and handshaking protocol.
- Extend VHDL source for both modules to embody described functionalities and adjustments, ensuring alignment with documentation enhancements.
- Augment testbench `Pipeline_tb.vhd` with random intervals for write and read operations, emphasizing dynamic testing scenarios.
