Refactored g-code parser. Saved 60bytes flash and some ram. Edited Readme.

Browse Source 
- Freed up another 60 bytes of flash and 12-24 bytes of stack RAM by
using the pre-allocated IJK arc offset vector that is guaranteed to be
not in use. Only G10 and G28/30 require fetching from EEPROM and
retaining extra data. Both commands use axis words, which rules out
G2/3 arcs using IJK offsets existing in same block. Not ideal, but
every byte helps.

- Edited README.

##Update Summary for v1.1
- **IMPORTANT:** Your EEPROM will be wiped and restored with new settings. This is due to the addition of two new spindle speed '$' settings.
- **Real-time Overrides** : Alters the machine running state immediately with feed, rapid, spindle speed, spindle stop, and coolant toggle controls. This huge contribution by the Grbl project is feature that is common only on industrial machines, often used to optimize cutting while the job is running. Most hobby CNC's try to mimic this with varying results.
- **Real-time Overrides** : Alters the machine running state immediately with feed, rapid, spindle speed, spindle stop, and coolant toggle controls. This awesome new feature is common only on industrial machines, often used to optimize speeds and feeds while a job is running. Most hobby CNC's try to mimic this behavior, but usually have large amounts of lag. Grbl executes overrides in realtime and within tens of milliseconds.
- **Jogging Mode** : New jogging commands seperate from the g-code parser, so that the parser state doesn't get altered and cause a potential crash if not restored properly. Documentation is included on how to use this with a joystick with a low-latency.
- **Jogging Mode** : The new jogging commands are independent of the g-code parser, so that the parser state doesn't get altered and cause a potential crash if not restored properly. Documentation is included on how this works and how it can be used to control your machine via a joystick or rotary dial with a low-latency, satisfying response.
- **Laser Mode** : Grbl now has a "laser" mode, where consecutive G1, G2, and G3 commands do not stop and continuously move through them with a spindle speed change. Spindle speed overrides also work with laser mode so you can tweak the laser power, if you need to during the job. Switch between "laser" mode and "normal" mode via a `$` setting.
- **Laser Mode** : The new "laser" mode will cause Grbl to move continuously through consecutive G1, G2, and G3 commands with spindle speed changes. When "laser" mode is disabled, Grbl will instead come to a stop to ensure a spindle comes up to speed properly. Spindle speed overrides also work with laser mode so you can tweak the laser power, if you need to during the job. Switch between "laser" mode and "normal" mode via a `$` setting.
- **Significant Interface Improvements**: Just this one time and done simultaneously with adding override controls, Grbl has tweaked the communication interface to make it easier for developers to write better GUIs. _NOTE: GUIs need to specifically update their code to be compatible with v1.1 and later._

- **New Status Reports**: To account for the additional override data, status reports have been tweaked to cram more data into it, while still being smaller than before. Documentation is included, outlining how it has been changed.
- **Improved Error/Alarm Feedback** : All Grbl error and alarm messages have been changed to providing a code. Each code is associated with a specific problem, so users will know exactly what is wrong without having to guess. Documentation and an easy to parse CSV is included in the repo.
