Avoid using doubles as flags when generating steps during "lead up to
stepper activity". Instead, explicitly track how many inactive move
entries are skipped and only generate steps for those entries.

Don't assume the times passed to itersolve_gen_steps_range() are
contained within the move. It's possible the checks in
itersolve_generate_steps() may round to different values when
converting the times to a relative move time.

Some stepper motor drivers do not respond well to rapid "step +
direction change + step" events. In particular, it is believed this
can cause "over current" events on the tmc2208 drivers when they are
in "stealthchop" mode. Detect these events and remove them from the
generated step times.

If the stepper changes direction then the average velocity since the
last step pulse isn't a good indicator of the next step pulse.
Instead, reset the bounds checking to use a low starting guess.

The queue_append system predates the iterative solver - it was useful
when many different kinematic functions directly added steps to the
step compression queues. With the iterative solver being the only
source of step generation, it is simpler to directly add steps from
the iterative solver code.

Add ability for the host code to get a notification when the ack for a
command sent to the micro-controller is received. This is in
preparation for improved detection of message loss between mcu and
host.

In the rare case where the step generation code finds an interval of
zero, it was possible for an integer division of a negative number to
cause an incorrect result. Fix that by using the idiv_up() and
idiv_down() helpers.

If a null move is added as the first move on the trapezoid motion
queue then it could have a very large move->move_t value. This could
cause numerical stability issues with some advanced kinematic
formulas. Place a limit on the move_t value to avoid this.

Add support for generating steps from kinematic functions that
calculate step times based on a range of the motion queue. It
requires scanning for step generation during the lead up to stepper
activity (when the stepper would nominally be idle). And it requires
scanning for step generation just after a stepper has nominally become
idle.

Calculate the ratio of axis distance to total move distance (axis_d /
