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.
