test+docs: gate a deeper [2,5,3,1] net learns; document the without-Vivado met-timing refinement (Refs #1764)

[gHashTag]

Stack (V2): adds a deeper [2,5,3,1] (3-layer, 158-step) learning assertion to the generator self-test — held-out 59/60 (98%), deterministic init — so the CI learning gate now enforces generalization on a deeper and wider net.

Answering "can we do it without Vivado?": documents a measured partial open-flow refinement. Constrain the internal clock net to a period nextpnr actually meets (create_clock -period 50 [get_nets clk], ~20 MHz < the ~21 MHz fmax) and build without --timing-allow-fail, so P&R closes timing deterministically. Result: several seeds come up bit-exact at ep0 (vs glitching from the start), and seed-search still finds a fully-stable build (a met-timing seed trained XOR 4/4 through all 60 epochs). It does not eliminate the lottery and more settle stays non-monotonic — so met-timing + seed-search is the best open recipe; deterministic no-seed-search closure still needs commercial P&R. Free Vivado (ML Standard) supports the xc7a200t but is x86-only.

Rebased on latest master (resolved a NOW.md overlap with #1911). Refs #1764
