IBIS - Connector Tree Diagram

To All:

To help read and review the Connector Specification, I have a draft tree
diagram of the keywords and subparameters for the .ibiscnn File. For
comparison, the tree diagrams for the .pkg and .ebd files are also
included at the end.

The Connector Specification lists the matrix formats: Banded_matrix,
Sparse_matrix, Full_matrix, and Diagonal_matrix as both keywords and
subparameters. I have diagrammed them as subparameters, consistent with
existing IBIS documentation.

  (m) indicates that keyword or subparameter may occur multiple times.

  (ml) indicates that keyword may occur multiple times at any location.

  * indicates that enumerated selections for the keyword or subparameter
  are provided at the end (other than possible reserved word NA and NC
  entries).
