npu2: hw-procedures: Add check_credits procedure
As an immediate mitigator for a current hardware glitch, add a procedure that can be used to validate NTL credit values. This will be called as a safeguard to check that link training succeeded. Assert that things are exactly as we expect, because if they aren't, the system will experience a catastrophic failure shortly after the start of link traffic.
