update gpio_control_block config for new openlane versions:
- disable `SYNTH_BUFFERING` and `SYNTH_SIZING` to limit the design size
and fit the floorplan
- change `SYNTH_STRATEGY` to `AREA 0` to minimize design cells
- disable `PL_RESIZER_TIMING_OPTIMIZATIONS` and
enable `GLB_RESIZER_TIMING_OPTIMIZATIONS`
- remove `FP_IO_*` and replace them with `FP_DEF_TEMPLATE` for io placement
- set `DECAP_CELL` to not use ef decaps.. i think that was for simulations?
- enable some turned off `QUIT_*` variables
- replace deprecated variables such as `GLB_RT_*`
- customize `pdn.tcl` to force pdn straps to follow the old pattern
- replace `$script_dir` with `$::env(DESIGN_DIR)`
!IMPORTANT - still need to run dynamic simulations
* - update caravan configuration
* change correct gpio_default blocks instance names
* implement powerrouting work around
* place spare logic blocks
* keep the history of runs and sym link last/final one
* - update caravan mag, def and gl views
- add fake power routing cell in the rtl as a placeholder for openlane
to prevent routing on that cell
- fix some syntax errors in chip_io_alt
- match simple_por lef pins with mag by regenerating it
* Apply automatic changes to Manifest and README.rst
* add caravan power routing lef
* - update mag and def view of caravan
- add_macro_placement for fake cell
* Added back the power routing to Caravan, fixed DRC errors, ran LVS,
corrected placement of isolated substrate regions, and replaced the
signal routing for the analog lines. Be aware that merging with
main may cause issues with the mgmt_protect.mag file and its
subcells mprj2_logic_high.mag and mprj_logic_high.mag. It may be
worth cherry-picking the files to merge and exclude those layouts.
