connector generator: add support for connectors with staggered pins

Carlos Nieves Ónega requested to merge cnieves1/kicad-footprint-generator:conn_staggered into master

This MR adds support for connectors with staggered pins, like: https://www.hirose.com/en/product/p/CL0586-0757-7-98

These FPC connectors are for 0.5mm pitch, one side only flat cable.

It doesn't make sense to use pad pitch or usual 02x6 configuration in the footprint name. Therefore, I added some options that allow overriding those values.

In the generator, usually pins per row are specified. As there are part numbers with even and odd pin numbers, with different pin numbers per row, I also added support for that.

Use example: !967
