LEF should be written from MAG/GDS

I'm getting some offset between the generated .lef and .gds
This happen in a design where there were no pins on the left side (not sure if that was the problem but I think it might be the cause)
The generated lef has an origin different than (0,0), but gds.tcl
script aligns the design origin to (0,0)
I think it would be better to create the lef file after the mag/gds, as in the openlane flow (/openlane/scripts/magic/lef.tcl
)
The other difference in .lef generation that I noticed (vs openlane) is that dffram doesn't use the lef write - hide
option. Don't know if there's a reason behind that
