This PR adds bsg_manycore_subpod_hetero, a module to abstract external pod connections to the manycore. The idea is for this to be an easy way to add pods connected using the bigblade methodology. It provides a shell with bsg_tag to configure a clock+reset generator, coordinates, and SDR bringup.

There's a slight modification to the hetero socket which allows for multi-link connections. It also adds bsg_manycore_link_resp_credit_to_ready_and_handshake from the tapeout.

Planning on modifying the BP setup in the tapeout testbench to use this to validate, but looking for early feedback!

What's the policy for switching to the new parameter macros?

Good question. None of the other manycore modules have switched, so I didn’t. But I’d be happy to make the change
