"""simple core issuer

not in any way intended for production use.  this runs a FSM that:

* reads the Program Counter from StateRegs
* reads an instruction from a fixed-size Test Memory
* issues it to the Simple Core
* waits for it to complete
* increments the PC
* does it all over again

the purpose of this module is to verify the functional correctness
of the Function Units in the absolute simplest and clearest possible
way, and to at provide something that can be further incrementally
improved.
