firmware_retract: Remove z_hop support

The current z_hop support did not work correctly with common slicers
that change Z height between retract and unretract, and it did not
work correctly with slicers that issue a retract at the end of a print
and then at the beginning of the next print.

The z_hop support is therefore being removed until these issues can be
fixed.

+20190710: The z_hop option was removed from the [firmware_retract]
+config section. The z_hop support was incomplete and could cause
+incorrect behavior with several common slicers.

 20190710: The optional parameters of the PROBE_ACCURACY command have
 changed. It may be necessary to update any macros or scripts that use
 that command.
