Rewrite the `.echo` file output from vpr to be auto-generated. #3

Currently .echo files are generated by hand coded C code. This means that they can easily have errors.

It would be a good idea to replace it them with proper, auto-generated C code which can serialize and deserialize the structures into both human and machine readable versions.

See https://github.com/verilog-to-routing/vtr-verilog-to-routing/issues/273 for an example of this.
