Add new REV D version of BTU mod

- This updates the BTU top to the REV D version of the Ploopy top, which
  is screwed together using self-tapping screws instead of M3 screws
  with threaded inserts.
- This is untested so use at your own risk. There may be another change
  brought in with REV D that I've missed, and not copied into the mod's
  REV D.

* Install the new top piece on the trackball.
* Give it a try!
### Threaded inserts
### Threaded inserts (Ignore if using REV D)
You'll need 4 heat-set M3 threaded inserts for the screws which attach the top to the base.
These can be bought from a variety of sources - you should use ones which are made for 4.0 - 4.2mm holes.
Recommendations for installing these are in the [Ploopy trackball assembly guide](https://github.com/ploopyco/trackball/wiki/Ploopy-Trackball-Kit-Assembly).
