* Change: In Kite, Katabatic & Knik, express the number of tracks truly
available to the global router by the number of tracks reserved to
the local routage inside a GCell. Replace the ratio parameter
"hEdgeCapacity" by an integer parameter "hTracksReservedLocal"
(duplicate for verticals).
It is more explicit to give directly the number of tracks that
are to be used locally, and potentially saves us from rouding
problems when calculating the number of availables tracks.
Note: we cannot do that for the layer saturateRatio as it
uses the density ratio that take account local wires, leading
to fractional results.
* Change: In Katabatic, in <GCellGrid>, rename checkEdgeSaturation()
into checkEdgeOverflow(), more explicit.
* Change: In Knik, in <Graph>, display the computed capacities of the
lower left node edges (should be the same througout all the grid).
* Change: In Unicorn, in <cgt.py>, uses the new parameters names for
edge density.
In CRL Core configuration files, "display.conf", "patterns.conf" and
"technology.conf" share most of their code. So that common part is put
into "common/" and sourced from the final configuration file.
Update the documentation according the the new initialization scheme.
In CRL Core, the layout of the files under "/coriolis2/etc" changes.
Instead of having them directly under "etc", they are now replicated,
in subdirectories. Each subdirectory having the name of the associated
symbolic or real technology (they are kept separated). We have, for
now:
* etc/cmos/ : symbolic, the Alliance original one.
* etc/vsc200/ : symbolic, for G. Petley vsclib.
* etc/hcmos9/ : real, generic fake (130nm).
To tell which pair (symbolic,real) technologies must be used we create
a *second* (sigh) configuration file "coriolis2_techno.conf", and it's
hidden counterpart in the user's account, to set it up. It needs to be
separate because it is read as early as possible and select which set
of configuration files would be read.
Also add support up to METAL8 and POLY2 in CRL core and it's Alliance
parser/drivers.
