Corrected the gpio_control_block so that the user_gpio_out signal (#89)
does not pass through an inverter, so that the input can remain
unconnected.  Rewired the existing implementation to use an
alternative gate that has an inverting input so that the
user_gpio_out signal can be left undriven when the GPIOs are in
the management enable state.  This is a simple logic refactoring
and does not change the logic function.  The manual rewiring has
been confirmed by LVS, but at least one GL simulation should be
run to confirm that the logic function remains the same as before.

Numerous bug fixes, ending in clean full LVS for both caravel and caravan. (#76)
* (1) Modified the .magicrc file to set a default for PDK if not set in the
environment.  (2) Fixed the user ID programming layout to not leave holes
behind when the script moves the vias around (similar to the handling of
the GPIO defaults block).  (3) Added substrate isolation to gpio_control_block
and fixed the path references to the standard cells.  (4) Fixed the four
missing routes on the Caravan top level.  (5) Reinstated the large rendered
labels for the pads on both caravel and caravan.  (6) Corrected the top
level gate-level netlist for caravan to add the missing pins to the
management core wrapper.  (7) Did the same for the caravan top level RTL.
(8) Created scripts to run full LVS including extracting the management
core wrapper and reading all gate-level verilog submodules.  (9) Moved all
of the LVS scripts to the scripts directory.

* Apply automatic changes to Manifest and README.rst

* Made the changes from pull request #73 as they did not get merged
successfully, and if merged now they will generate conflicts with
this pull request in scripts/set_user_id.py.  So it's easier to
just manually add them to this pull request.

* Apply automatic changes to Manifest and README.rst

Tim Edwards c52cd9b1e5 Added other blocks that were modified to put in the isolated
substrate regions, although this does not completely resolve
the substrate-related LVS error.

Tim Edwards 1b3fe4379c Corrected the placement of the isosub layer in the layouts so that
it is exactly overlapping;  this resolves issues with LVS.  Also:
Corrected the references to the OpenLane/ path in the .mag files
by changing them to the canonical $PDKPATH reference.

Tim Edwards e2ee74c591 Changed "simple_por" in both caravel and caravan to be an abstract
view pointing to the contents of ../gds/ so that when the assembled
chip's GDS is generated with "cif *hier write disable", the POR
will continue to have the GDS with the proper hierarchical processing.

Tim Edwards be98da0fe6 Added spare logic block to caravel layout and verilog GL, wired
it to the power supply, and checked top-level LVS.

Tim Edwards 08a2c90940 Made updates to correct LVS errors in caravan. Found one major error in the RTL
verilog for both caravel and caravan.  Hand-edited the RTL and GL netlists to
correct this;  still need to correct the layouts.  The error causes the user1
side clock, load, and reset buffers to drive the user2 side as well as the user1
side, making a huge mess of the routing.  Will route this by hand.

Tim Edwards 515b5a54f2 Updates for LVS. Only LVS issue remaining for caravel is how to get the
ground domains to extract independently.

Tim Edwards 6eb8bb54de Several more LVS corrections, including fixing a label in chip_io that
got removed from its net by a chang in the LEF view of an I/O pad, and
a lack of declaration of an array to attach to pwr_ctrl_out in the
verilog, which is valid verilog but netgen can't know the bus size
without the no-connect net being declared.  The remaining issue has to
do with separation of ground domains in the mgmt_protect block.
