Remove ESP32-WROOM-32D

Diego Herranz requested to merge github/fork/diegoherranz/esp32 into master

Follow up of PR #767. It was eventually agreed that both ESP32-WROOM-32 and ESP32-WROOM-32D footprints are identical so there is no point in maintaining both. Also, this way, ESP32-WROOM-32D can be an alias of ESP32-WROOM-32 in the schematic symbols (work in progress in https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-symbols/pull/724).

The only difference between these two devices is the bottom exposed pad size, but still the footprints are the same: https://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/documentation/esp32-wroom-32_datasheet_en.pdf (Figure 8) and https://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/documentation/esp32-wroom-32d_esp32-wroom-32u_datasheet_en.pdf (Figure 8)

I guess the only reason not to do this would be the 3D model, in case we showed the different exposed pad in the model, but the 3D model PR for this (https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-packages3D/pull/337) doesn't show the exposed pads so the same 3D model can be used for both too.

Thanks.
