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.

Continue to sample the ADC input pins even if the MCU goes into a
shutdown state. This enables the printer to continue reporting
temperatures even on an mcu error.

Allow multiple chips to provide pin mappings (not just the main mcu
chip). Move the pin parsing from the mcu.py code to pins.py and
support mapping from pin descriptions to their corresponding chips and
parameters.

Store pertinent information from the software startup in a dictionary
that the various printer components can access instead of in
individual variables in the Printer() class. This makes it easier to
add future command-line options.

Store the underlying temperature and resistance values instead of the

Make sure the heater.target_temp is set during the auto-tune test so

Create add_printer_objects() functions in the fan, heater, extruder,

Fix a corner case where a residual in the PID could cause a non-zero
pwm request even when the target_temp is zero. (Which could lead to a
firmware "Missed scheduling of next pwm event" shutdown.)
Simplify the logic for suppressing duplicate pwm updates and make sure
a zero target_temp always results in a zero pwm update on the
following set_pwm calculation.

Now that the mcu objects can be created prior to connecting to the
mcu, it is no longer necessary to separate the init and build_config
phases in the high-level code. Move the mcu objection creation from
the build_config phase to the init phase and eliminate the
build_config phase.

Only disable the extruder if the last measured temperature is below
the minimum extrude temperature setting. Verifying the target
temperature is not necessary, and it can incorrectly prevent some
valid moves. It's not uncommon for scripts to retract filament
immiedietly after setting the extruder temperature to zero.
