Fix courtyard clearance for inductor (chocke) footprints

Rene Poeschl requested to merge github/fork/poeschlr/fix_crtyd_chocke_tht into master

Next fix for the courtyard problems. For these the same applies, the old script did calculate the clearance relative to silk instead of body dimensions.

script PR: https://github.com/pointhi/kicad-footprint-generator/pull/127

I did again check all footprints using the footprint browser.

This revealed one error. L_Axial_L29.9mm_D14.0mm_P25.40mm_Horizontal_Vishay_IHA-105 is a bit strange. It is an axial inductor but the pitch is smaller then the length. This results in a totally wrong courtyard. I will look at this tomorrow. (It is 3 in the morning right now.)
