Description

This PR cleans the blocklevel dv of the keymgr_dpe to support further development. Now both retain_parent policy are accurately mirror in the scoreboard. The scoreboard loads the UDS directly from the DUT via interface.

Split the otp_keymgr_key interface into its respective components.
Future version of the keymgr(_dpe) may receive the information from
different IP's rather than combined from the otp_ctrl.

To avoid a circular dependencies the DevIdWidth instantiated
in keymgr_dpe_pkg replaces the otp_ctrl_pkg::DeviceIdWidth.

As the keymgr still expects the combined message the earlgrey top
manually combines the key material. This fix will be removed when
the keymgr is replaced by the keymgr_dpe.

This commit updates the `otp_ctrl` dv to reflect the new interface between
the `keymgr` and the `otp_ctrl`. The secret / seed verification inside the
otp_ctrl scoreboard template are no longer dynamically generated. The reason
is that the previously shared port signal has been split into its respective
components, which does not interacts well with the dynamic generation anymore.

However, adding a secret to the otp now results in a port-list change anyways the
resulting overhead is deemed acceptable.

This commit removes all otp_ctrl dependency in the keymgr_dpe dv.
This change ensures that the dv architecture accurately reflects
the dependency in the RTL implementation.

This commit improves the block level dv by:
- Introducing more verbose messages
- Latching the correct DEFAULT_UDS_POLICY
- Prevent ambiguous state after the disable operation
  by restricting any advance call

The scoreboard loads the UDS directly from the DUT via interface.
The problem is the keymgr_dpe initializes the slot for the UDS with
randomness. The initally loaded UDS is xored with the randomness
already present in the destination slot as countermeasure for SCA.
The scoreboard however can currently not recreate this randomness
thus the backdoor load.
