A number of changes, mostly to the SPICE libraries and netlists in support
of Xyce (without compromising support for ngspice). Also: Additional Monte
Carlo parameters were found in PSPICE format in the models and have been
converted to something ngspice-compatible. The 11V NPN GDS cell name was
changed to allow correct extraction from magic and prevent shadowing the
model name. The Monte Carlo switch parameter behavior was changed again to
make a separate set of library sections for mismatch-enabled corners vs.
the original corners, which have been configured to have mismatch disabled.
This avoids any requirement to add a parameter definition to every testbench
for sky130. Xyce compatibility includes changing '$' comments to ';', which
is also ngspice compatible, and adding the library section name after '.endl',
which is also ngspice-compatible. Complete Xyce support requires a change
to the all.spice file and calls to function agauss(), the solution to which
has not yet been determined.
