This PR migrates OpenLane away from Efabless infrastructure so old designs taped-out using OpenLane may be taped out again in the future.
A message clarifying the maintenance status of OpenLane has been added. Ciel has been replaced with Volare. The CI has been updated appropriately, and the repository now uses the GitHub Container Repository.)
All Python files have been re-linted using more modern tools.
This commit has no effect on the logical operation of OpenLane.

OpenLane is an automated RTL to GDSII flow based on several components including OpenROAD, Yosys, Magic, Netgen, CVC, SPEF-Extractor, KLayout and a number of custom scripts for design exploration and optimization. The flow performs all ASIC implementation steps from RTL all the way down to GDSII.

If you just want to try OpenLane out, try [this Colaboratory](https://colab.research.google.com/github/chipsalliance/silicon-notebooks/blob/main/digital-inverter-openlane.ipynb) by our friends at Google and ChipsAlliance. It's an online Python-based utility, and the best part is, *you don't need to install anything.*
