Add the ability to alias multiple output pins from a single pin alias.
This makes it possible to support some cases where a single logical
output is driven by multiple output pins.

Add a new config option 'homing_endstop_align_zero' to enable the

The Beaglebone hardware prevents the PRU from updating the pinmux
board settings. As a result, the PRU can't directly change the pin
direction or change the pullup resistor settings. Warn the Beaglebone
users of this limitation.

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

Also, make the setting more accurate if a future move is accelerating
in the middle of the lookahead window.

Some XY moves at the extreme end of the build envelope could cause
excessive axis stepper movement. Check for any moves that could
possibly result in a stepper movement of more than 3 times the XY
movement and cap the move's acceleration and speed.

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.

On a delta printer, z moves require the mcu to support the greatest
number of steps per second. However, z moves are rare, so it makes
sense to limit the velocity of z moves separately from the velocity of
normal xy 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
positive motion. This matches what other firmwares do, and it matches
what common stepper motor drivers document.

A pullup setting on an input pin (ie, '^') should enable the hardware
pullup resistor, but it should not invert the trigger level (ie, it
should remain trigger on high). Those that need to change the trigger
level (ie, trigger on low) must now do that explicitly (ie, '^!').
This makes the code match what other firmwares do.
