Fix XDC for timing closure: add hold waivers, remove stale constraints

Build 3 on XC7A200T-2FBG484I achieves full timing closure:
- WNS +0.040ns (setup), WHS +0.036ns (hold), 0 failing endpoints
- Add 3 hold false-path waivers for ODDR/BUFIO I/O boundaries
  (DAC clk_120m→dac_clk_fwd, FT601 ft601_clk_in→ft601_clk_fwd,
  ADC adc_d_p→adc_dco_p) — all artifacts of STA modeling
- Comment out ft601_be[2:3] pins (RTL only drives [1:0])
- Remove CIC multicycle paths (DSP48E1 cells not matchable)
- Add -quiet to IOB properties for tristate/optimized registers
