Add various Samtec mezzanine footprints from the Q Strip/Q Pairs, Basic Blade & Beam, Razor Beam, and mPOWER families

Caleb Reister requested to merge github/fork/calebreister/CalebReister into master

This pull request contains footprints for Altera HSMC cards. There are two variations, which use different connectors:

  1. Samtec ASP-122952-01: a modified Samtec QTH-series connector with every third pin removed in Bank 1 to improve signal integrity for transceivers.
  2. Samtec QTH-090-01-x-D-A: identical to the ASP-122952-01, except that all of the pins were left in Bank 1. It is not as good for transceivers, but is much more common.

The following footprints were added...

KLC Notes:

  • The HSMC_Card footprint anchors are centered on the connector, not the courtyard. Changing this would cause issues with the 3D models.
  • The HSMC_Card courtyards do not align to a 0.01mm grid, since the specifications were provided by the HSMC specification.
  • Some 3D models are reused, so the footprint names do not always match.
