f8b6e9145c CPLD: Pull up HOST_SYNC signal, which is usually floating.
HOST_SYNC is only connected to connector P28, and is therefore not driven (left to float) unless connected to some synchronization signal. Pull it up to keep it steady.

In doing so, I had to switch all unused pins to pull-up, and all input-only and tri-state pins to float. All input/tri-state pins except for HOST_SYNC are tied to the microcontroller and can be pulled up there.

533f9ee332 Hardware (CPLD-based) synchronisation
=======================================

This commit allows to synchronise multiple HackRFs with a synchronisation error **below 1 sampling period**

> WARNING: Use this at your own risk. If you don't know what you are doing you may damage your HackRF.
> The author takes no responsability for potential damages

Usage example: synchronise two HackRFs
======================================
1. Chose the master HackRF which will send the synchronisation pulse (HackRF0). HackRF1 will represent the slave hackrf.
2. Retreive the serial number of both HackRFs using `hackrf_info`
3. Use a wire to connect `SYNC_CMD` of HackRF0 to `SYNC_IN` of HackRF0 and HackRF1
4. Run `hackrf_transfer` with the argument `-H 1` to enable hardware synchronisation:
    ```
    $ hackrf_tranfer ... -r rec1.bin -d HackRF1_serial -H 1 | hackrf_transfer ... -r rec0.bin -d HackRF0_serial -H 1
    ```
rec0.bin and rec1.bin will have a time offset below 1 sampling period.
The 1PPS output of GNSS receivers can be used to synchronise HackRFs even if they are far from each other.
>DON'T APPLY INCOMPATIBLE VOLTAGE LEVELS TO THE CPLD PINS

Signal | Header |Pin | Description
-------|--------|----|------------
`SYNC_IN` | P28 | 16 | Synchronisation pulse input
`SYNC_CMD` | P28 | 15 | Synchronisation pulse output

Note:
=====
I had to remove CPLD-based decimation to use a GPIO for enabling hardware.

Associating timing specification groups on the NET declarations.
Updated setup/hold constraints -- old constraints were incomplete and possibly incorrect, though I'm still not *positive*.
