This commit adds the ability for firmware to make sounds when the
knob is clicked or rotated, when LCD updates are disabled.
The improvement here is the sound is being made with one line of code
whether or not LCD updates are enabled or disabled.

Valid values range from -100 to 100. Storing this value as four bytes
(int32_t) is not efficient.
Instead we can store G80 user input temporarily as int32_t and check
if the value is within the allowed range. If it is, then we convert the
int32_t (4 bytes) to int8_t (1 byte).

This way doesn't add any more flash memory.
Calculating the string length or checking for a null byte
will end up increasing flash consumption overall.
This gets rid of float conversion.
We just need to check the 6th character when M862 is detected. This
character gives us the digit after the dot.

For non-time critical code it is more effcient to call a function
rather inlining each division operation.

Rename acceleration_st to acceleration_steps_per_s2 to be same as Marlin 2
Store the accelerator in local variable accel
while we are performing the limit checks.
When limit checks are done we can assign
the block it's acceleration. Especially
block->acceleration_steps_per_s2 is now only written to once, instead of direcly in the limit checks.

Noticed this when exploring another optimisation
By specification exactly which overloaded function to use
we save some memory
Seems to have something to do with doing arithmetic in the function argument

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.

There is no need to repeat:
lcd_update_enable(true);
lcd_update(2);
Also lcd_clear() is redundant because lcd_update(2) will clear the LCD

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.
