Minimize backward compatibility API surface

Replace wildcard import in chipflow_lib with explicit minimal API based on
actual usage in chipflow-digital-ip and chipflow-examples repositories.

Changes:
- chipflow_lib/__init__.py: Only export ChipFlowError, __version__, and
  internal API functions (_parse_config, etc.)
- chipflow_lib/platforms/__init__.py: Stub module exporting pin signatures
  and software build utilities used by dependent packages
- chipflow_lib/steps/{board,sim,software}.py: Stub modules exporting step
  classes used by chipflow-examples
- chipflow_lib/config.py: Stub module proxying to chipflow.config
- tests/fixtures/mock.toml: Updated step references to use new module names

All backward compatibility stubs now show deprecation warnings encouraging
users to migrate to the new 'chipflow' package name.

Tests: 37 passed, 4 skipped. All backward compatibility imports verified.
