Extended the "maxwidth" DRC rule to take an optional set of layers

that exclude the maxwidth rule from taking effect.  This is
especially useful for implementing a maxwidth rule on top metal
that does not apply to pads, using the passivation cut layer to
prevent the maxwidth rule from being applied.
