Footprints needs to be converted to KiCad format #1

The USB-C Molex 2171790001 uses clever tricks to allow a slotted pad. This trick does not convert to KiCad which does support slotted pads, so the footprint needs to be adjusted as such.

DRC checks on many of the Eagle to KiCad footprints are showing errors. I've replaced most footprints, but apparently the SnapEDA footprint has polygons which surround the shield1 and shield2 pins, which can't actually be mapped to a net. So even though the pads are mapped to GND, it can't connect to the copper pour, and this is due to the elongated shape of the pad.

I've reported the issue to SnapEDA.
