Kevin O'Connor dc37a07a8e extruder: Add support for "pressure advance" on extrusion
Add a config option to define an amount of additional filament to feed
into the extruder during acceleration and deceleration of the
extruder.  This can help ensure plastic is deposited in the correct
places during a print.

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 bb3b881e21 docs: Change the debugging docs to recommend a serial baud rate of 250000
A baud of 250000 is a better choice for production use.  It's better
to test with that rate also.
