The bitcell currently passes DRC and LVS for FreePDK45 and SCMOS

There are 2 benchtests for the bitcell:
1) one with 2 write ports and 2 read ports
2) one with 2 write ports and 0 read ports
The second test is meant to show how the bitcell functions when read/write ports are
used instead of separate ports for read and write
The bitcell currently passes both tests in both technologies
Certain sizing optimizations still need to be done on the bitcell

Adds read ports to the bit cell. Two transistors function as a read port.
The two transistors in the port are denoted as the "read transistor" and the "read-access transistor".
The read transistor is connected to RROW (gate), RBL (drain), and the read-access transistor (source).
The read-access transistor is connected to Q_bar (gate), gnd (source), and the read transistor (drain).
A read is enabled by setting a Read-Rowline (RROW) high, subsequently turning on the read transistor.
The Read-Bitline (RBL) is precharged to high, and when the value of Q_bar is also high, the read-access transistor
is turned on, creating a connection between RBL and gnd. RBL subsequently discharges allowing for a differential read
using sense amps. This is a differential design, so each read port has a mirrored port that connects RBL_bar to Q.
