The set_printer_ready() method can be called from a background thread.
Have the main Printer class call a new dump_debug() method in the main
thread on a shutdown event.

Check that all options specified in the config file are valid. This
catches possible typos and spelling errors in variable names that have
a default.

Add helper function that ensures a config option is one of several
choices. This helps ensure that a proper error is raised if an
invalid choice is made.

Instead of writing error messages to stderr, route them into the

Setup the reactor and run the MCU connection code as a timer within
the reactor. The connection code will make use of reactor greenlets
so that it can wait for events during the connection phase.

Don't expose the ADC initialization to the gcode and heater code -
instead, register a callback within the MCU_adc class and call it
directly from the MCU class after configuration completes.

Instead of checking the endstop trigger directly after a retract move,
verify some distance is traveled during the following homing
operation. This reduces the amount of synchronization between mcu and
host during homing.

Create the QueryEndstops in the gcode handler instead of in the

Automatically reset the next step time to zero on a stepper_stop()

Commits f0cefebf and 8f331f08 changed the way the code determined what
steps to take on fractional steps. Unfortunately, it was possible in
some situations for the C code to round differently from the python
code which could result in warnings and lost steps.
Change the code so that all fractional step handling is done in the C
code. Implementing the step rounding logic in one location avoids any
conflicts.
In order to efficiently handle the step rounding in the C code, the C
code has also been extended to directly send the "set_next_step_dir"
command.

Writing to the debug log can cause an unbounded delay due to disk IO.
This is particularly so on embedded machines such as the Raspberry Pi
that run on SD cards. These log writing delays can cause problems for
the main processing threads.
The new "queuelogger" code forwards all the main thread log messages
to a queue, and a background thread writes the log messages from the
queue to the destination file. This eliminates the IO delay from the
main threads.

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.

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.

Due to the lookahead, small changes in the direction of the toolhead
cause minor changes in toolhead velocity. These "cornering" velocity
changes cause the current extruder code to trigger pressure advance
and its associated pressure retract. This causes the extruder to
rapidly "jerk" the filament.
This code change updates the extruder to detect velocity changes due
solely to cornering and avoid pressure advance.

Due to minor differences in the extrude ratio, the last end velocity
of the filament may not exactly match the next move's start velocity
of the filament. Implement more precise calculations for pressure
advance to take this into account.
