Simple trick: raise the feedrate, no need to care about a milling
bit when running a simulation. This reduces simulated time and as
such, duration of the simulation (by about 50%).
Also remove G-code which was never executed because simulations
are chopped at 1 minute of simulation time and smooth-curves.gcode
took about 1.5 minutes.
Step pulse measurements remain about the same:

- comment on why the case exists,
- add an M2 at the end to later allow automatic simulation stop,
- move comments to the end to avoid filling the serial buffer with
stuff unrelated to movements,
- make sure there's a line ending at the end of the file and
- use Windows line endings (they're more difficult to handle).
