Add FOG_ENABLE param, prune fog cone on the board profile (fix -6.165ns setup)

Browse Source

The fog blend's tex_color*F multiply landed on the texture->color critical path
(u_texcache RAM -> u_tex|tex_color -> mult_126 -> raster_pixel_color_q, 46ns,
-6.165ns setup). Fog is a proven no-op for the current board scene (96.5% F=255),
so pay zero for it here.

FOG_ENABLE (default 1, byte-identical fog) added to gs_stub; each fog mux gated
(FOG_ENABLE && ras_fge) so FOG_ENABLE=0 constant-folds the entire fog cone away
(multiply, FOGCOL adders, s2_fog_f/persp_fog_f5 interp). Threaded through
top_psmct32_raster_demo_bram; set FOG_ENABLE(1'b0) on the active GS_SH3_LPDDR_FB
board arm (elsif at :1086, the one the QSF profile compiles). Fog stays default-on
everywhere else.

Verified: FOG_ENABLE=1 fog TBs unchanged PASS; FOG_ENABLE=0 (new tb_gs_fog_disabled
+ board scene TB) emits raw color = pre-fog datapath; board elaborates clean.
