This enables pinio_init(), power_on() and power_off(). Now one
can turn on the power supply with M119 and turn it off with M2.
Code changes were neccessary. Setting a pin first, then making
it an output doesn't work on ARM. A pin has to be an output
before it permanently accepts a given state. As I was never
sure the former strategy actually worked on AVR, the order of
these two steps was changed for both, AVR and ARM.
Clean up code to reduce duplication by consolidating code into
loops for per-axis actions.
Part 6b moves do_step() from the "tidiest" place into where it's
currently used, dda.c. Binary size goes down another 34 bytes, to
a total savings of 408 bytes and performance is much better, but
still 16% lower than without using loops:

FLASH : 19874 bytes 139% 65% 32% 16%

Part 6a is putting stuff inside the step interrupt into a loop,
too. do_step() is put into the "tidiest" place. Binary size goes
down a remarkable 374 bytes, but stepping performance suffers by
almost 30%.
