consider mentioning simulation tooling in hdl section #526

Description

@proppy

It would be nice if the Hardware Description Languages section mentioned simulating tooling like:

  • iverilog
  • gtkwave
  • verilator

A few things that I wish I learned from the workshop rather that "discovering/googling" by myself:

  • use iverilog as a linter (seems to be more pedantic that yosys).
  • how to create testbench
  • how to $monitor variable
  • gotcha to create / optimize vhd files for gtkwave visualization
  • trade off between verilator / iverilog.

That'd be especially to helpful in order for FPGA newcomer to map those tool to traditionally software development workflow (edit/compile/debug lifecycle).
