gc_sync (and other CDC constraints) not recognized by Vivado

To reproduce:

  • add common/xdc/gc_sync.xdc (SCOPED_TO_REF=gc_sync) to the Vivado project
  • run synthesis
  • check the log. It will likely fail either unable to do [get_ports clk_i] or to recognize the previously assigned clk_period variable.
