This pull request introduces enhancements to the Spyglass backend in the Edalize project. The key changes include:

Support generalized SystemVerilog source files:

  • Updated the project file generation to support SystemVerilog without version limits (previously just SV09)

Extending support of constraint file types

  • Added support SpyGlass Design Constraint files (.sgdc)

Support for set_goal_option

  • Implemented functionality for set_goal_options

This resolves the issue I opened (#444)

Added new tool_option (goal_options)
Added goal_options section. Also, in the section where the SystemVerilog (SV09) support is configured, it has been changed to SV for flexibility and generalization

Why is the version hardcoded in the description here?

The patch looks mostly fine from a quick look but there are some issues, like the hardcoded version string. The test cases also aren't updated, so the tests are failing now.

I also need to inform that this backend uses the old Tool API instead of the new Flow API, and I'm a bit hesitant towards making updates to the old backends. I would much prefer if it was instead rewritten to use the new Flow API.

@olofk wouldn't I still have to change the spyglass tool API in order to create a flow with the extended functionality? Or what do you suggest?
