Expecting wrapper DEF to be fixed to support latest OpenROAD

[kareefardi]

can you try this https://github.com/efabless/caravel_user_project/tree/def-template-fix

[vijayank88]

Thanks @kareefardi . Updated DEF file from above branch works fine.

[proppy]

This seems applicable to the GF180 template as well, see #194.

[jeffdi]

this file is required. why are you proposing to remove it?

[proppy]

not proposing to remove the file, just to perform the same updates that were done for SKY130 in #188.

[jeffdi]

Got it. I merged.
