Somehow, KiCad added these strings to the parts libraries, which
resulted in referencing a file that didn't exist.
Remove them.

This is an initial commit removing the excess capacitors.
We will eventually add ESD protection ICs in the space that has been
freed up.

We probably don't need 10nF, because this won't do any very-high-speed
(>100 MHz) operations. We can think about putting them back in later,
space permitting.
Additionally, remove an extra bank of caps for one of the IO pads.
We'll double-up on capacitors there, which should be alright given the
close proximity and the fact that the only thing on that IO bank is
captouch.

Reduce the ground fill under the IC, to prevent it from sliding around.
This gives less copper, but it should be fine for the currents we're
drawing.
Loosen up the routing of the 5V plane, which involves moving some
components around. This increases the amount of copper that goes to the
various regulators.
Finally, reorder the caps so that the larger ones are further from the
IC. This is done because they have a slower response time, and so can
be further away.

This has more copper, which might make hand-soldering easier. Though
this PCB isn't going to be hand-soldered.

FPGAs are great, because if there's an alternate method that's easier to
route -- go for it! This modifies some of the connections to ease
routing constraints.

This is the first cut of a schematic layout of DVT1.
It includes all the decoupling caps still. We'll need to see if they're
kept around.

This removes much of the support debugging stuff from evt1. Still to
do:
- Assign footprints
- Figure out which PU resistor to include (if any)
- Figure out if we need to keep the USB buffering
- Remove extra decoupling caps

Add a footprint from KiCad for the power regulator we'll use.
It refers to a 3D file that doesn't exist, so we'll need to find that
first.

Move some vias around to get the 5V plane more breathing room. Add a
small pour to give more copper and stabilize the net.

Add more 5V vias near the 1.2V regulator, and replace a manual trace
with a copper pour. This will increase the amount of copper going to
both the 3.3V and 1.2V regulators, which should improve stability.
While we're at it, remove an errant silk artifact on the USB connector.

Add a note indicating the PCB thickness and color.
Also, move the drill origin to the lower-left corner, to aid in machine
assembly.

Add more silk, indicating website and other info.
While we're at it, move some traces around to give more copper area, and
drop some more vias to improve ground performance.

The Kicad default footprints seem volatile and unreliable. Going
between two machines that both have "Kicad 5.0.0" installed results in
incompatibilities because KiCad has renamed their footprint libraries.
Also, for some reason it's going to Github to get footprints instead of
using local copies.
Copy every model and footprint we use into a local tomu-fpga.pretty.
This lets us ensure we can work offline, and also allows us to modify
footprints, e.g. by adding a "Pin 1" marker.
