ihp-sg13cmos5l-ams-chip-template (iic-jku)ECADConfidence: Medium

Follow-up to the empty-cell finding from earlier today. Until #5, make magic-drc flattened the top cell away and checked nothing. Checked properly, chip_top has 238,053 errors and chip_top_logo_fill 238,375 (122,880 on Metal2 minimum area alone). Every earlier "clean" result was never real.
