  Calculates trapezoid parameters for stepper algorithm. Each block velocity profiles can be 
  described as either a trapezoidal or a triangular shape. The trapezoid occurs when the block
  reaches the nominal speed of the block and cruises for a period of time. A triangle occurs
  when the nominal speed is not reached within the block. Some other special cases exist, 
  such as pure ac/de-celeration velocity profiles from beginning to end or a trapezoid that
  has no deceleration period when the next block resumes acceleration. 
  
  The following function determines the type of velocity profile and stores the minimum required
  information for the stepper algorithm to execute the calculated profiles. In this case, only
  the new initial rate and n_steps until deceleration are computed, since the stepper algorithm
  already handles acceleration and cruising and just needs to know when to start decelerating.

  Recalculates the motion plan according to the following algorithm:
  
    1. Go over every block in reverse order and calculate a junction speed reduction (i.e. block_t.entry_speed) 
       so that:
      a. The junction speed is equal to or less than the maximum junction speed limit
      b. No speed reduction within one block requires faster deceleration than the acceleration limits.
      c. The last (or newest appended) block is planned from a complete stop.
    2. Go over every block in chronological (forward) order and dial down junction speed values if 
      a. The speed increase within one block would require faster acceleration than the acceleration limits.
  
  When these stages are complete, all blocks have a junction entry speed that will allow all speed changes
  to be performed using the overall limiting acceleration value, and where no junction speed is greater
  than the max limit. In other words, it just computed the fastest possible velocity profile through all 
  buffered blocks, where the final buffered block is planned to come to a full stop when the buffer is fully
  executed. Finally it will:
  
    3. Convert the plan to data that the stepper algorithm needs. Only block trapezoids adjacent to a
       a planner-modified junction speed with be updated, the others are assumed ok as is.
  
  All planner computations(1)(2) are performed in floating point to minimize numerical round-off errors. Only
  when planned values are converted to stepper rate parameters(3), these are integers. If another motion block
  is added while executing, the planner will re-plan and update the stored optimal velocity profile as it goes.
  
  Conceptually, the planner works like blowing up a balloon, where the balloon is the velocity profile. It's
  constrained by the speeds at the beginning and end of the buffer, along with the maximum junction speeds and
  nominal speeds of each block. Once a plan is computed, or balloon filled, this is the optimal velocity profile
  through all of the motions in the buffer. Whenever a new block is added, this changes some of the limiting
  conditions, or how the balloon is filled, so it has to be re-calculated to get the new optimal velocity profile.
  
  Also, since the planner only computes on what's in the planner buffer, some motions with lots of short line
  segments, like arcs, may seem to move slow. This is because there simply isn't enough combined distance traveled 
  in the entire buffer to accelerate up to the nominal speed and then decelerate to a stop at the end of the
  buffer. There are a few simple solutions to this: (1) Maximize the machine acceleration. The planner will be 
  able to compute higher speed profiles within the same combined distance. (2) Increase line segment(s) distance.
  The more combined distance the planner has to use, the faster it can go. (3) Increase the MINIMUM_PLANNER_SPEED.
  Not recommended. This will change what speed the planner plans to at the end of the buffer. Can lead to lost 
  steps when coming to a stop. (4) [BEST] Increase the planner buffer size. The more combined distance, the 
  bigger the balloon, or faster it can go. But this is not possible for 328p Arduinos because its limited memory 
  is already maxed out. Future ARM versions should not have this issue, with look-ahead planner blocks numbering 
  up to a hundred or more.

  NOTE: Since this function is constantly re-calculating for every new incoming block, it must be as efficient
  as possible. For example, in situations like arc generation or complex curves, the short, rapid line segments
  can execute faster than new blocks can be added, and the planner buffer will then starve and empty, leading
  to weird hiccup-like jerky motions.
