Consider USB-A ports with through-board mounts

[nakato]

After about a month of use, my left board USB-A port has gone a bit fragile, and usually doesn't work when I initially plug it in, requiring jiggling with some nasty sounds. Upon further investigation, I have found that the pads used for bracing the port on both sides have pulled off the circuit board.

For future boards it would be advantageous to consider a change to using a through-hole mounts for the bracing on this connector as there is not any other means bracing this connector.
