Fix MicroMELF footprints

evanshultz requested to merge github/fork/evanshultz/fix-micromelf into master

http://www.vishay.com/docs/85597/bzm55.pdf (same as all datasheets at https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-symbols/pull/2137).

I don't know what happened exactly, but I suspect the datasheet changed. This footprint was submitted at https://github.com/KiCad/Diodes_SMD.pretty/pull/39 and the datasheet linked there doesn't exist at that URL. Above is the current datasheet for, ostensibly, the same part, and it has smaller pads than our footprint. So I updated the footprint to match.

Note that there is a typo of Handsoldering (missing the n) but I haven't changed that here. @poeschlr Would this fall into the realm of a fix that can be done now? I believe so since footprints are merged into the board file, but I still would like to be cautious about this.

All contributions to the kicad library must follow the KiCad library convention

Thanks for creating a pull request to contribute to the KiCad libraries! To speed up integration of your PR, please check the following items:

  • Provide a URL to a datasheet for the footprint(s) you are contributing
  • An example screenshot image is very helpful
  • If there are matching symbol or 3D model pull requests, provide link(s) as appropriate
  • Check the output of the Travis automated check scripts - fix any errors as required
  • Give a reason behind any intentional library convention rule violation.
