tweak blackbox lvs scripts for very fast extract; update spi/lvs/*.spice.
The .spice (once propagated to caravel-lite AND caravel-lite embed in mpw_precheck docker)
will pass the consistency check.

* 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.
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.
* Corrects four signals which were missing from the caravan top level
(management output and output enable to GPIO 0 and 1---these errors
would have prevented the houskeeping SPI from working on caravel).
Corrected RTL verilog (source of the error), GL verilog, and layout.

* (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.

* 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.

* - 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.

Still evaluating why the layout does not pass LVS like it did
previously, although all current LVS errors appear to be related
to magic's extraction of the isolated substrates, and do not
imply functional issues. Also, LVS has only been done on the
top level.

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.
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.
to be abstract views, and modified the LVS scripts accordingly
(they no longer need a special version of the netgen setup
script). LVS was verified on both caravel and caravan using this
setup.
connections to the core side VCCD1 and VSSD1 on the clamped3 pads.
Also added scripts for running LVS on chip_io to the mag/ directory,
and revised the scripts so that they will only re-run extraction if
there is no netlist file in the mag/ directory.
(input for monitoring) changed from being connected directly to the
user project (where it shouldn't be) to the same signal on the input
side of the management protect block (where it should be). This is
functionally the same. Checked for any other signals connected
directly from the user project to any block other than mgmt_protect,
didn't find any (good). Modified the gate-level netlists and top-level
layouts for caravel and caravan with the corresponding change. This
was the only change affecting layout. Also: Revised the "pll"
testbench. This is still ongoing work. Also: Fixed the way the
pins on I/O pads are declared in chip_io.v, mprj_io.v, and pads.v, so
that it isn't so bizarre. Most of this change is functionally
agnostic (just a change in the way the ifdefs work), but did fix an
incorrect ifdef that causes the whole user power domain to be broken.
and open source logos. Modified the gpio_defaults_block layout
so that open holes are not created in the metal1 when the vias
are moved by the defaults block configuration script.
the clocking subcircuit from inside the pad area near the "clock"
pin to under the DLL. This prevents the DLL from having its
outputs travel all the way across the chip to reach the clocking
cell and then have the multiplexed clock travel all the way back,
especially as the DLL outputs are high-speed signals (up to 150
MHz).
update. Also changed the defaults block types in the layout so that
they match the gate-level netlist. This does not change the behavior
after assembly but lets LVS run correctly on the layout prior to final
assembly.
to housekeeping and the management core wrapper to separate the
wb_cyc_i signal and connect to new signal hk_cyc_o on the
management core. Also: Fixed a dangling input (user_clock) on
the housekeeping (minor error caused by the earlier refactoring
and unnoticed because there is no testbench covering that
function).
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.
