The constant_block instance positions and connections were modified
slightly to avoid routing over obstruction areas.

* Fix the simple_por to (logically) isolate the 1.8V and 3.3V grounds.
This commit does the following:
(1) Corrects the xschem simple_por schematic to separate the 1.8V and 3.3V grounds.
(2) Corrects the xschem simple_por symbol to separate the 1.8V and 3.3V grounds.
(3) Corrects the xschem testbench to connect to both grounds of simple_por.
(4) Corrects the simple_por layout to remove the 1.8V logic from the
3.3V ground and connect it instead to the 1.8V ground.
(5) Extends the top-level power routing of caravel and caravan to
make a better connection to the simple_por 1.8V ground.
(6) Adds an LVS script to properly check the simple_por layout against the
xschem-generated schematic netlist.
NOTE: None of these modifications change the function of any circuit. The
1.8V and 3.3V ground nets are only logically separated in the netlists but
share the substrate. This fix cleanly defines the 1.8V and 3.3V grounds
within the simple_por, where they were previously mingled. It also ensures
that the full LVS for caravel and caravan can now include the simple_por at
the transistor level and still pass.
* Updated the GDS of simple_por (previously did not remove GDS_FILE
from the .mag file and so it just overwrote the original GDS file
with itself).
* Corrected a route to simple_por in the top level of both caravel
and caravan that was shorting to the extra metals put on top of
the substrate contact across the top (bottom, in the top level)
of the simple_por layout.
* REVERT ME: temporarily match simple_por pin in verilog with lef
* - update configs
- add patch file for power routing def
* - update the following caravel toplevel views
- gl
- mag
- def
- add caravel power routing def
* Apply automatic changes to Manifest and README.rst
* update gl mag and def for caravel
* Revert "REVERT ME: temporarily match simple_por pin in verilog with lef"
This reverts commit b70c27c69f.
* update caravel gds
* Apply automatic changes to Manifest and README.rst
* Added text and logo cells back into the caravel top level. Put an
isolated ground marker layer on the xres_buf layout. Corrected
the power supply pin names on the gate level verilog netlist of
simple_por in caravel.v. Updated the copyright block text.
Corrected DRC errors in the top level routing.

getting changed by "make ship" because the build is done in a place
where the path pointer to the user_id_programming GDS still points
back to the original caravel repository, not the user project
repository. The user_id_programming GDS was removed (no longer used),
the user_id_programming.mag file was modified to remove the path
pointer to the GDS, and the set_user_id.py script was modified to
make changes directly to the user_id_programming.mag file instead of
the GDS. An additional method was added to the set_user_id.py script
to modify the gate-level verilog/gl/user_id_programming.v to make
the user ID correct for gate-level testbench simulations.
