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.
correctly no matter how the "gpio_defaults_block.mag" and
"gl/gpio_defaults_block.v" are defined. Previously it assumed
that they both defined all bits as zero, which was not the case
for the layout. Now both define bit value 0x0402 and the script
can flip bits either direction as needed in both verilog and
layout

value assignments, and modify the top level gate-level caravel.v
and caravan.v netlists to match.
characters in the user_id_textblock layout, which was backwards,
and (2) add a path reference to "hexdigits" for each new character
layout encountered in the file, so that the text block layouts
are found even if "addpath hexdigits" has not been specified.
There were some other corrections to handling gzipped files that
probably does not apply in practice, where "make uncompress" has
been run prior to the set_user_id.py script.
so that it contains a valid layout after processing by Openlane (since the
verilog module is named gpio_defaults_block). Corrected the orientation of
the defaults block layouts on the right side of Caravel and erased the
incorrect routing there. Reinstated the copyright, user ID text, open source
logo, and Caravel logo. Revised the gen_gpio_defaults.py script to handle
the first five GPIOs in the same way as the others, although as fixed entries
which cannot be modified by the user project designer.
makes backup copies of caravel and caravan layouts and replaces the
cell name of any gpio defaults block that is changed from the
contents of user_defines.v. NOTE: user_defines.v ultimately must
reside in the user project. The Makefile should copy the user's
version into the caravel directory space before running the script,
or else the script should be rewritten to reference the user's
project area when reading user_defines.v.

all unique combinations of defaults used in the file. Not done:
Modifying the top level layout to use the correct defaults (because
the top level layout does not yet exist).
