Use maskless bridged jumpers #53

Open cincodenada opened 2 years ago

I created maskless versions of the bridged jumpers per discussion on #30 and used them here. I've submitted them upstream to the standard footprint library, so if that gets merged quickly, I'll this PR with any changes from that one.

While I was at made the rotation of the jumpers and naming of the nets consistent, since I noticed there was one inconsistent with the rest. I also made the "(only caps lock key)" text slightly smaller to fit within the lines, since the overlapping silk screen was causing a DRC error in the latest KiCad version.

I also renamed the jumper nets to reference the net they're bridging to (or not) which will hopefully make it more apparent that warnings from tools like Aisler (again, see #30) about shorts are false positives. Is it worth adding a note to the README about this? Also I'm happy to take suggestions on better net names, naming things is my least favorite thing!

I set this as a draft so that we have time to see if the footprints will get merged in, and to facilitate discussion - once things are clearer I'll squash down to one commit.
