PDKMaster based Sky130 PDK

This is the PDK for Sky130 based on the PDKMaster framework. It currently is basically undocumented. Development is driven by sky130 MPW shuttle development. A little more information on what is possible can be found in the .gitlab-ci.yml file.

In the v0.1 branch a SRAM block and some analog circuits were present. These blocks did not work anymore with updated PDKMaster and c4m-flexcell modules. These blocks have therefor been removed from the main branch. Furhter development is not done in the sram and the analog branch.

• v0.2.1: Switch to latest version of PDKMaster and c4m-flexcell. As these updates break the SRAM and analog circuits they have been removed from this stable branch. v0.1 branch is available using old version of these modules and with the SRAM block and the analog circuits. Development of SRAM and analog blocks is done in separate branches sram and analog. Development in these branches will be merged again in upstream as they are fixed.
  Intermediate development was done on a v0.2.0 dev branch.
