[PCB] Design a wider 180 degree male-to-male USB C connector #21

Design a new 180 degree USB C male-to-male adapter, since the only one available commercially is fairly narrow and won't work with most phone cases. Ideally, have multiple widths.

I actually designed multiple revisions of this but couldn't get it to work. I think I may have just chosen the wrong USB connector, or maybe it's because I didn't treat the signal lines properly.

This should be an easy project for anyone more familiar with PCB design than me.

This should be something people can order assembled, so be sure to include pick-and-place and BOM.
