GDS export only the fabrication layers. #717

Please be as descriptive as possible, including: what is expected, why is this feature needed, what is the objective, etc.

What is the feature being requested?

Export a GDS file with only cells used for fabrication. There are intermediate steps using boolean to create fabrication layers. This issue would have less to write to disk for a GDS file. When they are not written to file, the speed is expected to increase. This will address part of Issue #633 .

What are use cases for this feature?

For people who want to fabricate a chip.
