bender script vivado adds the TARGET_SYNTHESIS regardless of test flags.

Do you think @WRoenninger it is a use case to ever use Vivado for purposes other than synthesis? What's your take on this @accuminium ?

@fabianschuiki Yes, Vivado is also used to simulate designs with Xilinx libraries, either in the embedded simulator or as "proxy" to provide a third-party simulator with the required libraries. I think we should support this.

Should we add an extra format (e.g., vivado-sim) that invokes the existing Vivado TCL emitter (emit_vivado_tcl) with different format_targets (i.e., simulation instead of synthesis), or should we add a flag (e.g., --simulation) specific to the vivado format?
