Fix to match datasheet

evanshultz requested to merge linear-mse into master

When reviewing https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-symbols/pull/637 I discovered that the footprint didn't match the datasheet. It was quite off in some places, in fact. Many minor updates so the footprint actually matches the datasheet and best meets the current version of KLC. Note the two paste pads added give ~72% paste coverage.

I left the naming alone but brought it up at https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-footprints/issues/436 since this is a footprint with missing pins and we haven't really resolved how to name them. That Issue has some ideas about this particular one but I've left it alone for now.

Datasheet: http://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/3630fd.pdf (I don't see a drawing of the footprint with missing pins online)
