add new register FPGA_CAPABILITIES to match PandABlocks-FPGA master repo updates

Araneidae commented 2 years ago

Hi @shu-soleil, I'm hoping to be a bit more clever about this one: I'd like the server to still work on older systems where this register is missing from the *REG block. @thomascobb, is this even worth thinking about? (I can't quite see a clean way to do this, it'll probably have to be a bit of a hack...)

Still ... that's no good reason not to merge this now, assuming that we're not close to a new release.

Hmm. @thomascobb, I've done the merge ... but reviewing the logs since the last 3.0a1 release I see that there is an incompatible change to the extension interface (commit 3c6935db7b90271f433640c5ba53b9c2ce9c9f0b) ... so we're going to have to manage the next release carefully anyway. We probably should have had another release to catch this, and should discuss this outside this PR.
