`generate_pcb()` causes `AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'SetParent'`

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug Calling generate_pcb() results in:

To make things like using the DigiKey footprints easier, I added an fp_libs option to generate_pcb() so you can pass a list of footprint directories. For example, I put my DigiKey footprints in the directory ~/tmp/digikey-footprints.pretty so I modified the generate_pcb() call to:

generate_pcb(fp_libs=["~/tmp/digikey-footprints.pretty"])

You’ll need to install the development branch of skidl and the master branch of kinet2pcb to use this feature.
