Code Review
This pull request reduces the core utilization for the gcd design in sky130hd from 40 to 38 and updates the layer resistance values for layers met1 through met5 in setRC.tcl. Feedback suggests retaining the comments in setRC.tcl that document the RC value generation method and units to ensure future maintainability and reproducibility.

Correlation Data
Mode: segment
Designs (7): aes, chameleon, gcd, ibex, jpeg, microwatt, riscv32i.

Units: R [kΩ/μm], C [pF/μm]
The resistance values that we were using weren't actually precise. Probably something off with the net-based regression script. The resistance fits obtained with the new segment-based regression have perfect (1.00) R².
I cleaned up the setRC.tcl script so that the data w.r.t. the correlation is tracked here rather than having comments in the file.
Observations:
repair_timingto make more insertions which led to a DPL failure during incremental GRT. The solution was to decrease the core utilization a little bit.Updated Rules
