TL;DR: Corrects AutoMemories.md's "Generated views" and "Platform support" sections, which describe emitters that don't exist (liberty.py, lef.py, pdk_asap7.py, sram_area_model.py).

Views come from FakeRAM2.0's asap7 backend. The new text was checked against generated 16×32 and 1024×64 views: a single-port RAM with FakeRAM2.0's pin names, the same default timing and power for every memory, area from poly and fin pitch, and asap7 constants hardcoded in generate.py. Docs only.

Code Review

This pull request updates the AutoMemories.md documentation to reflect that memory views are now generated using FakeRAM2.0's asap7 backend instead of the previous custom parametric models. The feedback suggests minor phrasing improvements to clarify that dimensions are snapped to a grid of 0.19 µm by 1.4 µm and to use the term 'process parameters' instead of 'process numbers' for better clarity and professionalism.

The "Generated views" and "Platform support" sections described
emitters that are not in the tree: scripts/memories/liberty.py, lef.py,
pdk_asap7.py with a PdkParams seam, and sram_area_model.py with an area
model anchored to an ISSCC 2018 paper. The views come from
tools/FakeRAM2.0/orfs_asap7/generate.py.

Describe what it emits: a single-port FakeRAM2.0 RAM per memory under
FakeRAM2.0's pin names, fixed asap7 default timing and power, area from
poly and fin pitch, an identical _pre_layout.lib, and the LEF's M4 pins,
M4 power straps and M1-M4 OBS. Platform constants are hardcoded in
ASAP7_PROCESS_CONFIG.
