Serial Data Receiver

Steps of Design:
Our aim is to receive a serial data input from the transmitter and
put it in a frame of 10 timeslots .
the first time slot is the start bit , the data input will be transmitted
to the receiver when start = '1' , otherwise it will stop receiving
bits.
the ninth bit is the parity checking bit , which = '1' when number of
ones in the data out is odd , if the parity checked from the receiver
don't match the parity supposed from the transmitter it will cause
an error called parity_err .
the tenth bit is the stop bit , when stop = '0' , error = '1'.
if there is no error , then data_valid = '1
