Add support for the 4-lane "OneInch" camera (Sony IMX283)

Description:

The next project milestone is to expand the existing 2-lane CSI to 4-lane, and establish video datapath for this particular high-end camera. This milestone encompasses the following tasks:

1. Upgrade simulation environment to allow both 2 and 4-lane data paths, with 4 video formats: RAW8, RAW10, RAW12, RAW14

[x] CSI BFM
[x] Testbench and relevant sim scripts
[ ] Time permitting, also add 1-lane option

2. Extend RTL from only RAW8 to also support RAW10, RAW12, and RAW14 image formats

[x] RAW2RGB block -- If it's too messy to support all 4 formats in one file, implement it in 4 separate files
[x] Integration

3. End-to-end simulations

[ ] Verify old and new data path options in functional simulation through the entirety of video processing chain

4. Validate OneInch sensor and new data path on the real hardware

[x] Work out I2C configurations for the camera (as our sim setup does not cover that part)
[x] Check video pipeline stages from CSI all the way to HDMI. If needed, use Chipscope ILA for debug
[ ] Crate a new demo, similar to the earlier for 2-lane RPi camera, but now with higher resolution Sony IMX294 camera
