Make symbols thinner and re-arrange symbol text #64

Closed Alarm-Siren closed 1 year ago

At the moment, the symbols are all quite wide in order to accomodate the symbol name and reference text.

However, by default in KiCad 6 the positioning of this text is automatically moved elsewhere. It would be better to position this text to the same location KiCad 6 moves them by default, that way all users will have a consistent experience. As this default location is outside of the symbol's box, this will allow the symbol to be made thinner as well.

As this will mean the symbol pins will change positions, this is a breaking change that will be reserved for version 3.0.0
