Move the "motor_off_timeout" tracking to a new module in the extras/
directory. This makes it easier to customize the idle timeout
behavior.

The junction_deviation configuration parameter has a number of quirks
that make it difficult to configure. Replace it with a
"square_corner_velocity" configuration parameter.

Add generic temperature smoothing to the Heater class. This is useful
to avoid min_extrude_temp and verify_heater errors due to measurement
noise.
Rename the pid_deriv_time config option to smooth_time so that the
smoothing amount need only be specified once.

If the fan's max power is limited by the config, then scale speed
requests between 0 and max_power. This makes more sense for typical
g-code fan speeds.

Move the description of stepper phase adjusted endstops to a new

Specify hardware pwm cycle times using the same method as software pwm
(in seconds, not clock ticks). Allow the fan code to be configured
with an explicit cycle time even when using software pwm.

If the mcu supports command restarts and it does not appear to use a
real serial port, then default the restart method to 'command'. This
is a better default on boards with native USB support.

Added the pwm_cycle_time option for heater config sections. Defaults
to previous value of 0.100 seconds, but may be reduced to shorter times
at the expense of MCU workload and possible MOSFET heating, depending on
controller design. Some printers that need bed PID to be enabled,
notably the Felixprinters series, are known to benefit from shorter
cycle times, as the default 10hz rate results in excessive voltage
supply droop.
While this option can be used on extruder heaters as well, there
is not expected to be any particular benefit from doing so unless
the extruder heater presents a particularly large load.

Add a new config option 'homing_endstop_align_zero' to enable the

It should no longer be necessary to configure "custom" commands during

Change the example files for cartesian printers to have a 25mm/s

Instead of defaulting the pressure advance lookahead time to be the
same as the pressure_advance variable, allow it to be configured.
Default the new config setting (pressure_advance_lookahead_time) to
10ms.
Also, make the setting more accurate if a future move is accelerating
in the middle of the lookahead window.

Update the lookahead code to track both normal toolhead acceleration
as well as a pseudo acceleration to the point of deceleration. This
reduces the top speed of small zig-zag moves and it reduces printer
vibration during these moves.

Change the config file so the maximum accel and velocity are specified
in the "printer" section instead of the individual "stepper" sections.
The underlying code limits the velocity and accel of the toolhead
relative to the print object, so it makes sense to configure the
system that was as well.

Invert the default meaning of the stepper direction pin. Instead of
treating a low value as position motion, treat a high value as
