Ensure that there is at least one free GCell on each side of the corona.

* Change: In Cumulus/plugins/chip/PadsCorona, if the external pins of
    the corona are in GCells that are also under the core block ring
    power lines, they are flagged as "go straight" and this produce
    impossible configurations for the router to solve. Now we ensure
    that there is one free GCell all around the corona border.
* Bug: In Cumulus/plugins/chip/Configuration.py & PadsCorona.py,
    at the begin/end of a side of pad, connectors can be outside the
    corona range (i.e. not directly face to face). Now make a dogleg
    if needed. This is a work in progress as if there are two of them,
    they will short on the perpandicular part. We must compute a
    shift.
