being buffered pass through the buffer macros. Removed the
straight-through signals from the layout, and renumbered the
vectors in the buffer cells, which no longer match the numbering
at the top level (unfortunately).
same file), errors (buffer output pin name, power supplies not
passed at the top level). Corrected a major error that prevented
the use of the buffers in simulation, so this was not previously
verified by simulation. The buffering has now been properly
verified.
gpio_signal_buffering (gpio_signal_buffering_alt in caravan).
Note that this macro requires manual placement and routing, like
the padframe, and the top level will need to route around its own
internal routes.
