fix: change snap_to_grid default grid from 2.54mm to 1.27mm (50 mil)

Half of all valid KiCAD schematic pin positions are on the 50-mil
(1.27mm) grid but not the 100-mil (2.54mm) grid — e.g. 26.67mm = 21 ×
1.27mm. Snapping to 2.54mm displaced those coordinates by 1.27mm,
moving labels off their pins and increasing floating-label count.

KiCAD source confirms: DEFAULT_CONNECTION_GRID_MILS = 50 and the ERC
off-grid check uses exact integer modulo against this value, so any
displacement breaks connectivity unconditionally.

Also update the kicad-source absolute path in CLAUDE.md.
