The save impl command always works on the active impl, since the active impl is connected to the DB
state. All other impls have no DB state. The save impl command saves the state of an impl (impl options
and db state) to a .acxdb file. By default, the .acxdb file will save the entire state of the current DB, including
placement and routing information. If an impl is saved before running the prepare flow step, a warning
message will be printed and only the impl options will be saved, since the DB has not been prepared.
