This PR sets the database unit to 0.005 in accordance with the grid size of 0.005 um of the SkyWater SKY130 PDK.

This ensures that a new layout created with KLayout will have 0.005 as the default database unit. The current default of 0.001 leads to DRC errors when using the PCells.

New Layout

Note: This still needs to be thoroughly tested as I am not sure if this will have any effect on e.g. OpenLane.

@donn : Is it possible to check what the impact of this change is (if any) on openlane?

The dbu cannot be changed retrospectively, as all of the existing layouts would need to be scaled. #23 makes sure that the generated PCells are aligned to the manufacturing grid.
