Currently we are queuing many small 2 mm E-moves until the filament
sensor triggers. We do this because we never abort any queued moves,
so making small 2 mm moves ensures we do not move the E-motor more than
2 mm past the filament sensor.
Unfortunately, when E-cool mode is enabled, the E-motor will create
audible clicking sounds (similar one hears during jam or a loose grub
screw). A workaround for this is to queue one or more very long moves.
Where very long is something of the order of hundreds of millimeters. I
have it set to 350 mm but it's just a random constant really. Keep in
mind the firmware will block too large E-moves, if I recall correctly
it was anything above > 450 mm (see PREVENT_LENGTHY_EXTRUDE)
In order to use very long moves, we must somehow stop the E-motor from
moving once the filament sensor triggers. In other words, throw away
what's left of the current E-motor move. For this simple purpose we can
use planner_abort_hard() but we must set planner_aborted to false
afterwards because the code architecture does not allow the main loop()
to run until the Toolchange command is done processing.

Previously when the firmware called M701/M702 manually
there was no Z lift. But after we added support for the Z
parameter we set the default to 50mm.
Change strings "M701" to "M701 Z0" and "M702" to "M702 Z0"
to restore the previous behavior from before 3.13.
Also pulled the gcodes into PROGMEM in message.cpp
along with M83 and M84 to save memory.

When the extruder lifts up after completing the Purge line,
the baby stepping is not allowed for a short time. This dismisses
the menu. We don't want this behavior, so only apply the Z-axis requirement
when printing.

Add lcd_commands_type == LcdCommands::Layer1Cal
just in case blocks_queued() is 0 for one instant between
lcd_command steps

Fixes an issue with running first layer calibration twice in a row.
Improvements:
Now the Z baby step menu closes automatically when first layer calibration is done.
No need to wait for a timeout or close the menu manually by setting a variable
If the baby stepping menu is open, and suddenly
the printer enters a state where baby stepping
is not allowed.
The printer will save the last value before closing the menu.
When LcdCommands != Idle, don't dismiss
the Z baby step menu. This saves 20B

The fact that the relationship between
machine position and pixel index is not linear
means we cannot simply rely on comparing
the previous position to the next machine position. i.e derivative of E_AXIS
Because around the max amplitude of the triangle wave
the slope will suddenly change sign and will create a deadzone
which has width 2*mm_per_pixel.
For MMU2S this is ~10mm (or two pixels).
Instead we should split the moves.
And only plan the 2nd move once we're
at the top of the triangle wave. That way we don't really care about the position delta.
Now we just calculate the current y(x)
position relative to current position and divide by mm_per_pixel.
If there is a delta measured with unit 'pixel' then that means
its time to render the next pixel.
This solution seems to work well so far on my end.

This fixes an issue where sometimes
not all 20 pixels are rendered.
It is better to render 1 too many pixels (sometimes), rather than rendering too few.
