Following changes to the `A.NetClass == '<netclass>'` semantics to
match on exact netclass name OR any constituent netclass names, we
can have conditions where constituent netclass constraints match
before the composite netclass constraints in the DRC engine. This
adds the functionality to match on the exact full netclass name, and
modifies the implicit netclass DRC rules to use this function in
their rule condition.

Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.
