[PATCH] Rename instances of "module" to "footprint" for consistency

 

So from what I remember, Kicad used to call alot of pcb footprints as
"modules". Sometimes it was "module", other times "footprint module"
and now "footprint". Footprint seems to have picked up in usage so
let's use it everywhere!
Right now new users just get confused and its a popular compliant. I
don't blame them, the inconsistency is annoying.

Summary:
Rename most instances of Module to Footprint.
Rename instances of "Footprint Module" to "footprint"
Fix "Get and Move Footprint Dialog" text. "Name" should be
"Reference", title should be "Search for footprint".

patch attached to email assuming git generated it right. launchpad
branch also available.
