Added new shunt footprint: WSK2512 for 0.005 to 0.2 Ohms:

wsk2512

Currently I created this footprint to match the default shunt resistor:

r_shunt

Or should I add a new shunt resistor mapping specific to the WSK2512?

Secondly, I named this shunt as follows: R_Shunt_2512_6332Metric_0.005-0.2 because the 0.0005 to 0.0049 variant has a slightly different size, is this ok? A THT variant is called R_Axial_Shunt_L[Length]D[Diameter]P[Pitch][Modifiers][Orientation]_[Options].
