USB connector difficult to solder #2

Ground plane connection to USB connector is too strong; challenging to solder without excessive heating of board/plane. Improve thermal relief for ground pin and shield.

Almost not possible to solder with an iron but went fine with my hot air station

Thanks for the feedback. I have adjusted the thermal relief of the USB in v4 - adjacent shield connections are thermally relieved from ground plane, and GND pin I've changed to a single connect. I'd argue micro usb connectors are always a bear to hand solder, but happy to improve AFAIRP. See 2951f1485d85d3fa7d55ea8e0cb5fbce0e2f9556
