Add BTU modification (#18)
* Add files for Ploopy top without bearing sockets

- These files were created in Rhino by deleting the surfaces that made
  up the bearing sockets and patching the holes that were left
- This is a good base for the BTU top or any other mods people want to
  make

* Add BTU mod top piece v3

- This is the first full version of the BTU mod I created.
  - v1 and v2 were just test pieces that mounted to the front screw
    holes of the trackball to check clearances. They weren't really a
    usable top as they didn't have anything other than the ball well.
- This part has been test printed on an Ender 3 and works well.

* Rename STEPs folder to STEP

* Add BTU mod v4

- This is a full remake compared to v3, which was designed in Rhino. To
  make it more accessible for contributions, it's been redone in
  FreeCAD. This means you can edit it with a free program as well as
  making it parametric. The positions of the BTUs can be edited by
  changing the values in the spreadsheet embedded in the CAD file.
- These parts haven't yet been test printed

* Add README for BTU mod

* Add more detail to mod README

- Print and assembly tips
- Some images to show what the mod actually is and what to cut off the
  secondary buttons

* Rearrange bearing distributor list

- It didn't need to take up so many lines
- Also added Bosch's contact locator tool to make it easier for people
  to find other distributors, as suggested by /u/d4baller
