This PR introduces a HLS Softmax layer into FINN.
Specifically it contains:
HWSoftmax- a hardware abstraction layer.HWSoftmax_hls- for instantiating the HLS softmax IPInferHWSoftmaxtransformations for inferring theHWSoftmaxlayers.The HLS implementation of the softmax unit lives in finn-hlslib and it is structured as a three-stage pipeline with the following stages:
A template parameter specifies the input datatype; however, the output datatype is fp32. Internally, a fixed point datatype is used after the first stage as the dynamic range of the input floats after this normalisation is well defined. To avoid any loss of accuracy, the fixed point value maintains 23 fractional bits.
