etc: simple button/coin cell battery holder

Needed a holder for leds inside of my acorns, super simple holder with
room for an led at the top and a wire hole on the side.

Intended to be printed from flexible material (TPE or TPU) for a snug
fit. Might work in rigid filament if slot_undersize is reduced, but no
guarantees.
