Restore diode symbol that is safe for simulation and PCB

Graham Keeth requested to merge gkeeth/kicad-symbols:fix-sim-diode into master

Removes Simulation_SPICE:DIODE and adds Simulation_SPICE:D, which is a copy of the generic D from Device and Diode. I fixed up the description a bit which hopefully will prevent future confusion.

This symbol is PCB-safe and also has the alternate pin order set up for simulation.

It is not simmable out of the box as it needs a model.

  • Remove the instructional content of this template
  • Provide a URL to a datasheet for the symbol(s) you are contributing
  • An example screenshot image is very helpful
  • Ensure that the associated footprints match the official footprint library
    • A new fitting footprint must be submitted if the library does not yet contain one.
  • If there are matching footprint PRs, provide link(s) as appropriate
  • Check the output of the automated check scripts - fix any errors as required
  • Give a reason behind any intentional library convention rule violation.
