rsp2k 09c58ea630 --negotiate: PathFinder rounds on the empty board before routing
Every connection is routed N times on the empty board, where routes may
share cells at a price that doubles each round for every other net on a
cell, and a cell that stays shared gains history. The real routing then
pays that history on free cells, so the first routes stop taking the space
later routes (a fine-pitch part's escapes) have no way round. Off by
default.

The old history term never steered: it only accrued at rip-up fights,
after the first routes had claimed the contested space, and routed
connections are never revisited in later passes.

"""freeroute command-line interface: Specctra DSN in, routed SES out.
Flag-compatible with the FreeRouting JAR (``-de`` / ``-do`` / ``-mp``) so it can
be dropped in wherever ``java -jar freerouting.jar`` was invoked, plus the
freeroute-specific engine selection (``--engine``) and its opt-in passes.
Not every engine supports every pass. The matrix below is the single source of
truth; an unsupported combination is an error, never a silent no-op::
engine --pack --shove --diagonal --no-rip-up -mp/--max-passes
grid no no no yes yes
exact no yes yes yes yes
room yes yes no no no
