Jean-Paul Chaput 68e45bc5ab Groudwork for routing density driven placement. Compliance with clang 5.0.1.
This commit contains two set of features that should have been commited
separately.
  1. Compliance with clang 5.0.1, tested with the RedHat collection
     llvm-toolset-7. This allow Coriolis to be compiled under Darwin (MacOS)
     with Xcode & macports. The bootstrap install system has been modificated
     accordingly.
  2. The basic support for routing density driven placement. Related
     features are:
     * Bloat property. Each Occurrence of an Instance can be individually
       bloated. This property not attached to any tool to allow the placer and
       router to share it as wanted. Nevertheless, it is defined in Etesian.
     * BloatProfile in Katana, add individual Bloat properties to Instances
       occurrences based on the East & North overflowed edges of each GCell.
     * Support in ToolEngine for a "pass number" of a tool. This pass number
       is mainly used to make "per pass" measurements. The MeasureSet system
       is improved accordingly to support multiple values of a same measure.
     * Embryo of "P&R Conductor" to perform the place & route loop until the
       design is successfully placed. May be the first brick of a Silicon
       Compiler.

* Change: In boostrap/FindBoostrap.cmake, in setup_boost(), added tag to
    the python component for macport (ex: python27).
* Change: In boostrap/build.conf, put etesian before anabatic for
    instance occurrence BloatProperty dependency.
      Added option support for the "llvm-toolset-7" collection to build
    against clang 5.0.1.
* Bug: In Hurricane::getRecord( const pair<T,U>& ), the getSlot<> templates
    for first & second arguments must be called with <const T> and <const U>
    as the pair itself is const (and not simply <T> & <U>).
* Change: In Hurricane::getSlot() temlate, only use "string" arguments and
    not const string&, simpler for template argument deduction.
* Bug: In Hurricane::AnalogCellExtension, the StandardPrivateProperty<>
    template has a static member "_name". Clang did show that the template
    for this static number has to be put inside the namespace where the
    template *is defined* (i.e. Hurricane) instead of the namespace where
    it is instanciated (i.e. Analog).
* Bug: In Isobar, Matrix_FromListOfList(), PyInt_AsPlacementStatus() must
    be put outside the C linkage back in the Isobar C++ namespace (clang).
* Bug: In Hurricane::DBo::~DBo, and derived add a throw() specification
    (clang).
* Bug: In Hurricane::RegularLayer::getEnclosure() & setEnclosure(), change
    signature so it matches the one of the base class (clang).
* Bug: In Hurricane::CellPrinter, use double brackets for initializer list
    (clang).
* Change: In Hurricane::Breakpoint, reverse the meaning of the error level.
    Only error level *lesser or equal* than the stop level will be enabled.
* Bug: In CRL/python/helpers/__init__.loadUserSettings(), must put the
    current working directory in the sys.path as in certain configuration
    it may not be included.
* Bug: In CRL::ApDriver, DumpSegments(), no longer generate segments when
    encountering a RoutingPad on a top-level Pin Occurrence. The segment
    was generated in the wrong direction, creating DRC violations on the
    "mips_core_flat" example.
* Change: In CRL::Measures, partial re-design of the measurements management.
    Now, each kind of measure can accept multiple values put in a vector.
    The index is intented to match a tool run number.
* Change: In CRL::Histogram, add support for multiple sets of datas,
    indexeds with tool run number.
* Change: In CRL::ToolEngine, add support for multiple pass number, add
    addMeasure<> templates for the various data-types.
* Change: In CRL::gdsDriver & CRL::gdsParser(), comment out unused GDS record
    name constants.
* New: Etesian::BloatProperty, property to attach to Instance occurrences
    that contains the extra number of pitch to add to the cell width.
* Bug: In AutoSegment::CompareByDepthLength, the segment length comparison
    was wrong, it was always returning true, which broke the "strick weak
    ordering" of the comparison.
      This was producing a core-dump in GCell::updateDensity() when sorting
    a vector<>. The end() iterator was being dereferenced, leading to the
    problem.
* Bug: In Katana::DataSymmetric::checkPairing(), the test for segments
    whose axis is perpandicular to the symmetry axis was wrong
    ("!=" instead of "-").
* New: In Katana/GlobalRoute, new ::selectSegments(), selectOverloadedgcells()
    and selectBloatedInstances() to automatically select segments from
    overloaded edges, overloaded GCells and bloated cells.
* Change: In KatanaEngine, return a more detailed success state, distinguish
    between global and detailed.
      Add support for multiple routing iterations.
* New: In cumulus/python/plugins/ConductorPlugin.py, embryo of routing
    driven placement.
