Commit c24b7a7e reworked the way lookahead was done and it introduced
a bug when a full acceleration move is immiedietly followed by a full
deceleration move. In that situation, depending on when the lookahead
queue was flushed, it was possible to call move.move() without calling
move.set_junction(). This resulted in a "Move instance has no
attribute 'accel_t'" internal error.
Simplify and fix the logic for checking full accel moves followed by
full decel moves.

Change the lookahead queue so that it attempts to buffer at least
buffer_time_high amount of moves when first starting a print. This
helps ensure the buffer is normally always full.
If the buffer falls below buffer_time_low then it is either due to the
end of a print or because octoprint/klippy is unable to keep up.
Change the code so that in this case the lookahead queue will attempt
to gather buffer_time_high amount of moves before restarting movement.
Update the default buffer_time_low to 1 second and buffer_time_high to
2 seconds. With the above changes a smaller buffer_time_high and a
larger buffer_time_low are more practical.

Use a minimum time window as a heuristic for determining when to try
to lazily flush the lookahead buffer. In the common case this will
result in more moves processed for each flush and thus reduce the

Do a better job of calculating the maximum halt velocity for the
stepper motors. The maximum cornering velocity is related to both the
maximum acceleration and the junction_deviation, so both should be in
the formula. Tests show that "math.sqrt(8. * self.junction_deviation
* self.max_accel)" very closely fits the maximum on cartesian robots.
This fixes potential "no next step" shutdowns that could occur on
some print moves.

The normal system clock can have sudden jumps if the system clock is
changed. Use the system monotonic clock to avoid these sudden changes
in time.
It appears the Raspbian OS (which is used by OctoPi) is setup to
update the system clock upon network connectivity. This could cause
sudden system clock changes which could lead to Klippy processing
errors. Using the monotonic clock eliminates these issues.

Make sure max_corner_v2 is fully calculated before proactively
flushing moves from the lookahead queue. Without this, some moves

Calculate the next "cornering" minimum and maximum for each move. The
"cornering minimum" is the lowest speed the head will reach
immediately after this move (with no interleaving acceleration or
cruising). The "cornering maximum" is the maximum speed the head will

or cruising).
