Kevin O'Connor 8e165fecc0 toolhead: Calculate maximum junction start when adding moves
Take into account the maximum possible start speed of a move when
calculating junction_start_max.  This simplifies the lookahead logic.

Kevin O'Connor 6a96e83ea9 toolhead: Store both the start and end position in the Move class
Store the start position (in addition to the existing end position) in
the Move class.  The start position can be useful to the kinematic
classes.

Kevin O'Connor 275b386856 toolhead: Allow kinematics class to verify the move prior to queuing it
Introduce a check_move() method in the extruder and cartesian
kinematic classes.  This allows the lower level classes to verify the
contents of the move prior to queing that move.

The speed and acceleration handling for special Z and extrude only
moves are also moved from the generic toolhead class to the low-level
classes.

Check for unhandled exceptions and force the MCU to shutdown in that
case.

Kevin O'Connor 654546e338 stepper: Support stepper phase adjustments when homing
Add support for enhancing the precision of endstop switches by also
inspecting the phase of the stepper motor when the endstop triggers.

Kevin O'Connor 92f81d51f4 homing: Move low-level coordinate manipulation to kinematic class
Rework the code so that the kinematic class (currently just
cartesian.py) has more control over the homing process.

Kevin O'Connor c847606311 toolhead: Limit lookahead optimization to moves with similar extrude ratios
Only skip acceleration between moves if both moves perform a similar
amount of extrusion.  This ensures the extruder has sufficient time to
accelerate to and from each extrude move.

Kevin O'Connor af99ab1645 extruder: Create a new class and python file to track the printer extruder
Create a new python file (extruder.py) to control the extruder heater
and stepper motors.  This separates the extruder control logic from
the cartesian robot code - making it easier to customize both the
kinematic control of the robot as well as the extruder.

Kevin O'Connor 5829aa8bd7 toolhead: Avoid using a dummy_move for an empty move_queue
Explicitly check for when the move_queue is empty and only call
move.calc_junction() when there is a previous move.  This avoids the
need to create a dummy "sentinal" move object and it simplifies the
code.

Kevin O'Connor 9bb1ae079f toolhead: Merge lookahead.py into toolhead.py
Remove the lookahead.py file and move its code directly into
toolhead.py.  The MoveQueue() class is small and tightly coupled to
the toolhead code.
