If MENU_DUMP is enabled, a new entry at the end of the "Support" menu is
added that allows to dump memory for offline use.
This allows to trigger a memory dump at any moment during regular usage
(either idling or printing) and to recover the dump later even after a
hardware reset.
If EMERGENCY_DUMP is defined, crash and dump using the new xflash dump
functionality instead of just continuing with an error message.
When an emergency crash is stored, the first restart after a crash
displays a message that debug data is available and to contact support
to submit the crash for analysis.
Check for lcd_draw_update to see if the lcd has been altered outside the
function and redraw the screen if full.
This fixes scenarios such as #3129 where the "Card removed" message or
the SD menu is entered from outside the function's control.
This requires checking/resetting bFilamentWaitingFlag carefully to avoid
re-entering this function _twice_ (raise_z_above will run the main
loop until complete).
Scale extruder motor current linearly with speed.
49% less heating when running at low speed and standstill, 4% more torque at maximum extrusion rate (15mm^3/s), 15% more torque in high speed movements (un/retractions).
StealthChop mode is used for low speeds (below 900mm/min)
spreadCycle is used above. Transition speed is well above maximum extrusion rate of 15mm^3/s (275mm/min) so mode transition is not expected to be visible on printed surface.
StealthChop is expected to improve printed surface quality (less artifacts).
Warning you can burn extruder motor if it is not the same impedance as original Prusa i3 Extruder stepper motor. There is no current feedback in low speed so lower impedance motor can be burned by over current.
Even there is no direct current feedback, there is no risk for original motor thermal runaway, as motor resistance increases with temperature, current decreases.
Standstill peak phase current is expected to be 500 mA and linearly increase with speed to 970 mA at 900mm/min where spreadCycle constant current regulation takes over and keeps peak current at 805 mA to maximum speed possible.
As motor heating increases with current squared, lowering low speed current from 700mA to 500mA decreases heating 49% in thate mode, where motor spends most of the time.
Enable E-motor cool mode in farm mode only (and experimental menu) - the experimental menu is visible AND the EEPROM_ECOOL variable has a value of the universal answer to all problems of the universe - i.e. two conditions must be met at the start of the FW to enable the E-cool mode. If the user enables the experimental menu, sets the E-cool mode and disables the menu afterwards, on the next start of the FW the E-cool mode will be DISABLED. This is still subject to discussion how much obscure (security through obscurity) we'd like this option to have .
Additional stuff:
* Add serial debug msg to verify if E-cool mode is on
* Avoid access to E-cool mode switch on machines without TMC2130
* Do not allow only M907 E in case of E-cool mode+warn the user on the serial line that the command was skipped

This change restores the minimum extruder height for filament purge
during M600 from the current 50mm back to 27mm from FW 3.9.
We do this by introducing a new option for unload_filament() to indicate
that the unload is part of an automatic swap, and in such cases avoid
raising more than absolutely necessary (this will _also_ come in handy
to avoid the extra purge in PR #2318 during M600).
A new define MIN_Z_FOR_SWAP is introduced for this purpose.
MIN_Z_FOR_UNLOAD is still used for manual lcd unload and for M702 and
hasn't been changed.
If the printer was already being pre-heated but didn't reach the target
temperature yet and a new filament is being inserted, the LCD used to
display a "Preheating to load" message to block the loading until the
extruder is hot.
This message is currently missing, and the ">Cancel" option doesn't
display immediately either, depending on the extruder height.
This PR fixes this behavior, which was broken during an earlier update.
We now force-update LCD updates during the first (and _only_) time the
screen is setup, and push all messages _before_ the carriage is
eventually raised, so that ">Cancel" is shown immediately as well.
