Added Standard Cells based SRAM generator (Python).

The generator as been build in two parts:
1. A genereric sram.BaseSRAM class to provides support for all kind of
   SRAM (grouping column tree, headers, folding).
2. The specific SRAM_256x32 (256 words of 32 bits) suited for the
   ethmac.
The sram has been simulated with genpat+asimut and gives identical
results to the Yosys one (at gate level). No timing though.

Conclusions that we can draw from those results are :
1. The generator version uses subtantially less gates than the Yosys one.
As the both SRAM uses the exact same number of SFFs, the difference is
only due to the decoder for the control of input and output muxes.
2. Notwithanding having less gates the generator version uses similar areas,
which means that we use fewer but significantly *bigger* cells.
3. The FlexLib library supplied for SkyWater 130nm do not contains all
SxLib one, effectively restricting our choices.
In particular, to build the output multiplexer we only have mx2 and
mx3 cells, which are large. The density of the SRAM could be much
increased if we did have nmx2 and nmx3. We could also try to synthesise
the tree using nandX and norX but we are short of time.
Furthermore for the output multiplexers, as it is a controlled case,
we may also uses three-state drivers cells (which have not been
ported either).
.. note:: Cell width in the SkyWater 130 port of FlexLib:
============== =====
Cell Width
============== =====
mx2_x2 7
mx3_x2 11
nand2_x0 2
nand3_x0 3
nand4_x0 4
nor2_x0 2
============== =====
1. mx2_x2 + mx3_x2 = 18
2. 9 * nand2_x0 = 18
3. 4 * nand3_x0 + nand4_x0 = 16
4. 6 * nand2_x0 + nor2_x0 = 14
