Converts a change in level_in (an edge) into a pulse lasting one clock
cycle. The input edge must be synchronous to the clock. The pulse
outputs are combinational: a given pulse is generated in the same cycle as
the relevant change in signal level.
A Pulse Generator can eliminate some simple FSMs by converting a condition of unknown length into a one-shot event (e.g.: updating a register only once when a signal changes for an unknown time).

Create a version of the input delayed by one cycle.

.clock (clock),
.clock_enable (1'b1),

.data_out (level_in_delayed)
);
When the input changes before its delayed version, immediately raise the relevant output. On the next clock cycle, the delayed version will arrive and the raised output will go back low.
