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.

# Changes
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.

[UNRETRACT_EXTRA_LENGTH=<mm>] [UNRETRACT_SPEED=<mm/s>] [Z_HOP=<mm>]`:
Adjust the parameters used by firmware retraction. RETRACT_LENGTH
determines the length of filament to retract and unretract. The
speed of retraction is adjusted via RETRACT_SPEED, and is typically
set relatively high. The speed of unretraction is adjusted via
[UNRETRACT_EXTRA_LENGTH=<mm>] [UNRETRACT_SPEED=<mm/s>]`: Adjust the
parameters used by firmware retraction. RETRACT_LENGTH determines
the length of filament to retract and unretract. The speed of
retraction is adjusted via RETRACT_SPEED, and is typically set
relatively high. The speed of unretraction is adjusted via
UNRETRACT_SPEED, and is not particularly critical, although often
lower than RETRACT_SPEED. In some cases it is useful to add a small
amount of additional length on unretraction, and this is set via
UNRETRACT_EXTRA_LENGTH. It is possible to lift the Z axis by a small
amount when in retracted state by setting Z_HOP, although this is
more commonly used for printers where fast Z movements are supported,
such as delta printers. SET_RETRACTION is commonly set as part of
UNRETRACT_EXTRA_LENGTH. SET_RETRACTION is commonly set as part of
slicer per-filament configuration, as different filaments require
different parameter settings.
