Fix the simple_por to (logically) isolate the 1.8V and 3.3V grounds. (#90)
* 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.

Tim Edwards 2691903104 Reworked part of the layouts of both caravel and caravan to move
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).

Tim Edwards fe21089505 Updated caravan with the same addition of four spare logic blocks
as was made to caravel.

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.
