Move the trilateration algorithm to mathutil.py. It may be useful
outside of delta kinematics, and it complicates the delta code.

Add support for an itersolve_set_position() function that sets a
stepper position from a cartesian coordinate. This eliminates the
need for both the python and C code to be able to translate from a
cartesian coordinate to a stepper position.

Calculating the cartesian position from the stepper positions can be
complex and cpu intensive, so rename it to calc_position() to be more

Update the code to use the term "rail" when dealing with a motor
controlled "axis". A rail has a series of steppers and endstops that
control that motor controlled "axis".

Raise an error during config parsing if the position_endstop is not

Commit 002dc0df added rounding to the homing speed, but it did not
work if the configured homing speed was less than the printer's
maximum velocity. Move the speed rounding from stepper.py to
homing.py and make sure the rounded speed is less than the maximum
speed.

Change the config file so that the delta arm length is specified

Use the formulas for trilateration (instead of the circumcenter
formulas) when calculating the position of the nozzle from the
position of the carriages. The trilateration formula is more general
and it allows each tower to have a different arm length.

The homing code wants the list of endstops to enable during a homing

Add wrappers around mcu_endstop and mcu_stepper so that the kinematic

It is possible to have an acceleration greater than max_z_accel on
XY+Z moves. That needs to be taken into account when calculating the
min_stop_interval. This prevents spurious "No next step" MCU errors.

Now that the print_time is always synchronized with the mcu_time,

Eliminate references to mcu_time from the code and pass print_time
directly in its place.

Allow the kinematic classes to query the max velocity, max accel, and
max halt velocity from the toolhead class instead of having the
toolhead class call into the kinematic classes with those values.

Adjust the configured homing speed so that it always results in a
speed that is an even number of mcu ticks per step. This ensures that
the code can always get good step compression during homing, which is
important as the entire homing operation must be able to fit within
the mcu's move queue. This fixes some "move queue empty" mcu shutdown
errors that could occur when the Z step distance was an unusual size.

The delta code calculates a "virtual tower" along the line of
movement. Rework the variable names and comments to make it clear
that this is occurring.
It is not necessary to pass the start_pos variable to the C code as it

Now that the kinematic classes call the mcu_stepper with millimeters

Now that the mcu objects can be created prior to connecting to the
