Parser for KiCad .kicad_mod footprint files.
Extracts the fields that the MCP get_footprint_info tool exposes to clients:
name – footprint name (str)
library – library nickname, injected by caller (str)
description – (descr "…") token (str | None)
keywords – (tags "…") token (str | None)
pads – list of pad objects: [{number, type, shape}, …] (list[dict])
layers – sorted unique list of canonical layer names used (list[str])
courtyard – {"width": float, "height": float} from F.CrtYd geometry (dict | None)
attributes – {"type": str, "board_only": bool, …} (dict | None)
