f5daaa2667 refactor(cam): extract match engine into separate module and centralize parameters
- Split cam_core into pure memory (cam_core.sv) and match engine (match_engine.sv)
- Add cam_params.svh with centralized parameter definitions (NUM_ROWS, HASH_BITS, LANES, etc.)
- Update cam_top.sv to use shared parameters and compose match_engine
- Update Makefile to include new match_engine module and correct Verilator define syntax

f71bf06484 feat(hw): add XNOR-popcount CAM design with cocotb verification
Implement a multi-lane Content Addressable Memory (CAM) that scores
rows by XNOR popcount against a query hash and returns the top-1 match.

RTL modules:
- popcount: parallel group-based population count
- argmax_update: iterative best-match tracking with tie-break
- cam_core: parameterized scanning engine (NUM_ROWS/HASH_BITS/LANES)
  with optional SIM_NOISE and SIM_DEBUG ifdef guards
- cam_top: thin wrapper exposing cam_core ports

Verification:
- Python reference model (ref_model.py) for score-level golden comparison
- cocotb testbench (test_cam_basic.py) covering write/query/reset and
  external noise mask scenarios with score debug verification
- Noise sweep script (sweep_noise.py) measuring top-1 stability under
  configurable bit-flip rates
- Verilator-oriented Makefile with parameterizable compile options
