A simple router that takes advantage of the fact that in each cell with
DFFs their CLK inputs can directly connect to the global clock network.
Networks with a large number of such sinks are sought and then each
network is assigned to the available independent global clock networks.
There are limited possibilities for routing mixed networks, that is,
when the sinks are not only CLKs: in this case an attempt is made to use
wires such as SN10/20 and EW10/20, that is, one short transition can be
added between the global clock network and the sink.
* At this time, networks with a source other than the I/O pin are not
supported. This is typical for Tangnano4k and runber boards.
* Router is disabled by default, you need to specify option
--enable-globals to activate
* No new chip bases are required. This may change in the distant future.

In the Gowin chips, the tiles are connected to each other by a one-hop
wire, among others. There are 4 one-hop wires, of which 2 are shared
between north/south and east/west, have three names: e.g. SN10 and N110
and S110.
But only one of them, the first, occurs as a sink for PIP, that is, you
can not get a route that would pass through the S110 for example.
This commit corrects the names to SN?0 and EW?0 at the wire creation
stage to avoid dead wires.
In addition, the SN?0 and EW?0 are among the few sinks for global clock
wires and now there is the possibility of a more optimal clock routing.

Gowin chips have a highly sophisticated system of long wires that are
wired to each cell and allow the clock or logic to spread quickly.
This commit implements some of the capabilities of the long wire system
for quadrants, leaving out the fine-tuning of them for each column.
To make use of the long wire system, the specified wire is cut at the
driver and a special cell is placed between the driver and the rest of
the wire.
* VCC and GND can not use long wires because they are in every cell and
there is no point in using a net
* Long wire numbers can be specified manually or assigned automatically.
* The route from the driver to the port of the new cell can be quite
long, this will have to be solved somehow.
* It might make sense to add a mechanism for automatically finding
candidates for long wires.

Only the recognition of the directive in the .CST file and elementary
checks are added, but not the long-wire mechanism itself.
