Add fuse clip footprints

evanshultz requested to merge github/fork/evanshultz/fuse into master

Fixes https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-footprints/issues/238.

At https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-footprints/issues/238 the fact that fuse clip footprints were missing was brought up. I did some research and compiled it at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OSzm-NI75B3XSdkQu7nbU0WIWMq-NZ3z9Eb7iX6Cmqw/edit#gid=0.

It appears that there is less commonality in the clip footprints I found than I thought, and Rene indicated the generic route wasn't his preference either in the last comment of that issue.

So... I figured I'd build the footprints in that spreadsheet to get things started. This is the first one to get feedback on the style before I continue on.

The footprint naming is fairly verbose so hopefully it can be used to match up other parts that fit the footprint. That all being said, even a few tenths of a mm won't have much of an effect so I still think some generic footprints would be useful and probably I'll include some "averaged" generic footprint before I include all footprints in this PR.

Please review the image and footprint attached here and provide feedback. If this looks good, then I'll continue on adding more specific and ideally generic footprints. I will entertain requests as well.
