Added footprints for two solar cells by IXYS

jlehmke requested to merge github/fork/jlehmke/master into master

Hello, this is my first contribution to KiCAD. I've added two SMD solar cells by IXYS to a new Library (Solar.pretty) as I didn't found an existing library suitable for solar cells.

SM111K04L

Added parts:

KXOB25 solar cells are available in many different configurations, sharing the same form factor. The attached data sheet is an example of one of those variants.

To ease manual soldering the pad length has been increased by 1mm to the side. There is no recommended pad layout mentionend in the data sheets. As there is barely no self centering during reflow due to high weight/pad ratio, 0.5mm distance has been used for CrtYrd.

The footprints are compatible to the Device/Solar_Cell symbol. The check script ran without errors.
