Cannot parse 5.99 footprints

[CatoLynx]

When trying to open a .kicad_mod footprint generated with KiCad 5.99 nightly, I get the exception pyparsing.exceptions.ParseException: Expected 'module', found 'footprint' (at char 1), (line:1, col:2). Even when I rename "footprint" to "module" in the .kicad_mod file, I get different errors. It seems that there has been a change in the file format which should be supported in this library.

Hmm yeah, here is a working older .kicad_mod file versus a non working newer file.

Older:

And as we can see from the error message, the first line in the working one starts with "module" while the new one starts with "footprint".
This seems to correspond to this line of code:
https://github.com/dvc94ch/pykicad/blob/master/pykicad/module.py#L474
I ran a quick test just changing "module" to "footprint" in that line but I got other errors, which is understandable since there are other subtle changes.
I am going to work around this by importing older kicad footprints to generate a board, then adding my other stuff in Kicad6 once the board is generated. But it would be great to support Kicad6! And now Kicad7 is upon us, and I wonder if that will change anything.
