Fix naming of "Hopref" footprints.

KiCad Bot requested to merge github/fork/ppelleti/hopref into master

Created by: ppelleti

The RFM9XW modules are made by the same company that makes the RFM69HW modules. However, currently their footprints start with different manufacturer prefixes:

hopref

  1. First off, the name of the company is "hoperf", not "hopref".

  2. Secondly, the capitalization should be harmonized. The company's web site puts the name in all caps, so "HOPERF" seems like the way to go.

  3. Finally, the HOPERF-RFM69HW footprint uses a dash between the manufacturer name and part number, while Hopref_RFM9XW_SMD and Hopref_RFM9XW_THT use an underscore between the manufacturer name and part number. I can't find anything in the KLC about which to use, and existing footprints seem to use a random mixture. So, I went with the dash.
