27b0dd8abe Remove TLHelper, directly use tilelink node constructors
TLHelper 1) obfuscates the underlying node architecture and
2) results in otherwise unnecessary dependencies on testchipip

1f98c84210 Add ChipTop to enable real chip configs with IO cells, etc. (#480)
This adds an additional layer (ChipTop) between the System module and the TestHarness. The IOBinder API is now changed to take only a single parameter (an Any) and return a 3 things: The IO port(s), the IO cell(s), and a function to call inside the test harness, which is analogous to the old IOBinder function, except that it takes a TestHarness object as an argument instead of (clock, reset, success).
* A new Top-level module, ChipTop, has been created. ChipTop instantiates a "system" module specified by BuildSystem.
* BuildTop now builds a ChipTop dut module in the TestHarness by default
* A new BuildSystem key has been added, which by default builds DigitalTop (previously just called Top)
* The IOBinders API has changed. IOBinders are now called inside of ChipTop and return a tuple3 of (IO ports, IO cells, harness functions). The harness functions are now called inside the TestHarness (this is analogous to the previous IOBinder functions).
* IO cell models have been included in ChipTop. These can be replaced with real IO cells for tapeout, or used as-is for simulation.
* The default for the TOP make variable is now ChipTop (was Top)
