Code Review
This pull request updates the resistance values for metal layers in the Nangate45 platform's RC configuration. The reviewer identified minor inconsistencies in the resistance values for layers with identical physical characteristics (metal4-6, metal7-8, and metal9-10) and suggested using consistent, rounded values to improve maintainability and accurately reflect the PDK's physical symmetry.

The resistance values that we were using weren't actually precise. Probably something off with the net-based regression script. The resistance fits obtained with new segment-based regression have perfect (1.00) R².
I cleaned up the setRC.tcl script so that the data w.r.t. the correlation is tracked here rather than having comments in the file.
