Extend PandA Bambu HLS tool

Bambu HLS is the High-Level Synthesis tool of the PandA framework. The HLS flow implemented by Bambu HLS may be extended at many levels adding optimization passes in the frontend, new HLS algorithms in the backend, or new hardware modules in the hardware generation engine. How to extend Bambu HLS under its many aspects is described in the following chapters:

• dev_bambu_frontend
• dev_bambu_modgen
• dev_bambu_device
