Add support for 4:2 compressors #6

Open antonblanchard opened 1 year ago

4:2 compressors are logically 2 full adders cascaded. The multiplier in Bluegene Q uses them and it might improve area and frequency a bit.

To make this worth it, we'd need to create 4:2 compressor standard cells since none of the Open Source standard cell libraries contain one.
