Add Phase 0.5 DDC co-simulation suite: bit-accurate Python model, scene generator, and 5/5 scenario validation

Bit-accurate Python model (fpga_model.py) mirrors full DDC RTL chain:
NCO -> mixer -> CIC -> FIR with exact fixed-point arithmetic matching
RTL DSP48E1 pipeline behavior including CREG=1 delay on CIC int_0.

Synthetic radar scene generator (radar_scene.py) produces ADC test
vectors for 5 scenarios: DC, single target (500m), multi-target (5),
noise-only, and 1 MHz sine wave.

DDC co-sim testbench (tb_ddc_cosim.v) feeds hex vectors through RTL
DDC and exports baseband I/Q to CSV. All 5 scenarios compile and run
with Icarus Verilog (iverilog -g2001 -DSIMULATION).

Comparison framework (compare.py) validates Python vs RTL using
statistical metrics (RMS ratio, DC offset, peak ratio) rather than
exact sample match due to RTL LFSR phase dithering. Results: 5/5 PASS.

"""
Co-simulation Comparison: RTL vs Python Model for AERIS-10 DDC Chain.
Reads the ADC hex test vectors, runs them through the bit-accurate Python
model (fpga_model.py), then compares the output against the RTL simulation
CSV (from tb_ddc_cosim.v).
Key considerations:
- The RTL DDC has LFSR phase dithering on the NCO FTW, so exact bit-match
is not expected. We use statistical metrics (correlation, RMS error).
- The CDC (gray-coded 400→100 MHz crossing) may introduce non-deterministic
latency offsets. We auto-align using cross-correlation.
- The comparison reports pass/fail based on configurable thresholds.
Usage:
python3 compare.py [scenario]
scenario: dc, single_target, multi_target, noise_only, sine_1mhz
(default: dc)
