Kevin O'Connor bc5d900e61 delta: Support different arm lengths for each tower
Change the config file so that the delta arm length is specified
per-tower.  This makes it possible to support advanced calibration.

Kevin O'Connor ff6a96665a heater: Rename thermistor_type config name to sensor_type
Rename the thermistor_type and thermistor_pin config variables to
sensor_type and sensor_pin.  This is in preparation for support of
sensors beyond thermistors.

Kevin O'Connor bcaf818c0e fan: Default to using software PWM
Not all hardware has PWM support and there is no compelling reason to
use hardware PWM for fans.  Change the default to use software PWM.

Kevin O'Connor 29ba92a551 delta: Use position_endstop for position_max
There's no reason for the user to specify position_max - it can be
inferred on deltas from the endstop positions.

Kevin O'Connor bdfdf7ef55 delta: Cap maximum stepper velocity and acceleration
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.

Kevin O'Connor 71b4923208 delta: Support limiting the maximum velocity of z 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.

Kevin O'Connor c49d3fdb17 toolhead: Specify maximum acceleration and velocity in toolhead class
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.
