Improve SKQG footprints

KiCad Bot requested to merge github/fork/Ratfink/skqg-cleanup into master

Created by: Ratfink

Since there are two different types of ALPS SKQG switch (with and without stem) that require different 3D models, we need to have two different footprints. This commit makes that split. I don't have 3D models yet, but I plan to work on them before too long.

The outline has been cleaned up as well, after measuring the 3D model from ALPS for dimensions missing in the drawing. The keep-out zones have been added, and the courtyard has been made a bit tighter.

It looks like ALPS doesn't have datasheet PDFs for these switches anymore. Here are links to HTML datasheets:

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
