Add footprints for XT60 male and female connectors.

Jon Neal requested to merge github/fork/reportingsjr/XT60 into master

Add footprints for male and female XT60 connectors. Yes, these are technically wire to wire connectors, but lots of people have been using them as PCB mount connectors.

I created the footprints by measuring a handful of physical connectors (purchased through hobbyking so they are legitimate parts) and finding the average pin diameter (~4.3mm) and adding the IPC standard 0.2mm clearance.

Here is the only datasheet really available for it: https://www.tme.eu/en/Document/2d152ced3b7a446066e6c419d84bb460/XT60%20SPEC.pdf

This PR should also close #1462 if it is accepted.
