Add support for additional carriages on cartesian printers.  This is
used by some printers to handle multiple extruders.

# activation.
# Support for cartesian printers with dual carriages on a single
# axis. The active carriage is set via the SET_DUAL_CARRIAGE extended
# g-code command. The "SET_DUAL_CARRIAGE CARRIAGE=1" command will
# activate the carriage defined in this section (CARRIAGE=0 will
# return activation to the primary carriage). Dual carriage support is
# typically combined with extra extruders - use the SET_DUAL_CARRIAGE
# command in the activate_gcode / deactivate_gcode section of the
# appropriate extruder. Be sure to also use that mechanism to park the
# carriages during deactivation.
