global: change simulator environment variable setting

[sophimao]

• Change name of the simulation project directory environment variable
• Make the project directory environment variable imply the CL_CONTEXT_MPSIM_DEVICE_INTELFPGA

@sophimao I have changed the base branch to main since all commits should be integrated in that branch first. After merging, you can backport the commit from main to a release branch using these instructions.

Thanks @sophimao, the change looks good.

Could you rebase this onto main and clean up the commit message? The new variable does not shadow CL_CONTEXT_MPSIM_DEVICE_INTELFPGA; rather it is checked only when CL_CONTEXT_MPSIM_DEVICE_INTELFPGA is not set.

Assuming the remote repository name is intel:

git rebase -i intel/main
