This currently WIP and will probably end up landing after #1184.
Remaining issues are adding support for setting node/wire timings in the Python API as well as pip timings; and adding more examples of how this structure could be used to implement different timing models - like configurable cell types, and the spectrum from simple fixed pip delays to fanout-dependent delays (without RC data) to a full RC model.
The RC model implementation is also currently incomplete, but should be good enough for a context where most of the delays are on the pips and it's used to implement a small fanout penalty.
