Further planner improvements and misc minor bug fixes. Memory savings and increased buffer size.

- Update grbl version and settings version to automatically reset
eeprom. FYI, this will reset your grbl settings. - Saved
3*BLOCK_BUFFER_SIZE doubles in static memory by removing obsolete
variables: speed_x, speed_y, and speed_z. - Increased buffer size
conservatively to 18 from 16. (Probably can do 20). - Removed expensive!
modulo operator from block indexing function. Reduces significant
computational overhead. - Re-organized some sqrt() calls to be more
efficient during time critical planning cases, rather than non-time
critical. - Minor bug fix in planner max junction velocity logic. -
Simplified arc logic and removed need to multiply for CW or CCW
direction.
