K&R obsolete syntax removal for C23 compatibility series
The extSubtree() routine cuts a layout into squares and extracts
each separately, checking for subcell interactions. In each
square it parses all labels looking for unconnected ones. This
section of code not only parses all labels M x N times, but it
then marks interaction areas where there may be none, forcing
additional unnecessary processing. This commit makes the first
quick optimization, which is to change the return value of
DRCFindInteractions() from boolean to integer, allowing it to
return a value indicating that there are no subcells in the
area. This prevents the loop through labels from happening in
cases where there can never be interactions. More to come.
in a cell to account for the difference between what's in an input
GDS file and what magic would write out itself from the processed
data. This potentially allows library cells to be read in that
will generate the equivalent mask data as output without resorting
to using GDS file references as properties. The method is activated
with the new command option "gds maskhints on" and the default is
off.
were incorrect assumptions made in the code from 35 years back or so,
for the case where the CIF layer halo is larger than the size/separation
of the cells in the array. The new code will prevent the array routine
from copying hierarchical additions to the mask layers outside of the
array area. Whether or not the new code has its own faulty assumptions
remains to be seen through thorough vetting.

mask hints in the top level cell, since the hierarchical function
on cells does not apply the function to the top level.
and made the default behavior equivalent to "see-vendor". While it is
true that running "cif see" on a readonly cell shows layers that are
not necessarily representative of what is in the file, the opposite
behavior manifests itself in ways that are confusing.

the size of a bounding box, or abutment box, as well as many other
possibilities. Also: Corrected the use of "cif see" for the boundary
(abutment box) layer, which was not working because the "cif see"
command uses a flattened CellDef that does not have the boundary
property of the cell it was flattened from.
