Serial RX count bug fix. Settings codes CSV. More documentation.

- Reverted back the serial RX count function to how it was. The
variable type was unsigned and cause an integer underflow whenever the
calculation produced a negative number. The old way was the correct way.

- Lots of minor edits to the code CSVs and markdown documents.

- Expanded on explaining feedback messages and startup line execution
feedback.

- Created a new settings codes CSV to help GUIs import the values and
meanings.

Subject: Increment to v1.1a, minor compile bug fix, tweaked communication protocol, more docs.
- Incremented to v1.1a, rather than keep 1.0e. This is because there
are existing v1.0 installations. Dont want to confuse people further.
- Certain version of the Arduino IDE did not like the `inline` in the
function header. Removed from spindle_control files to fix the problem.
- Tweaked the communication protocol slightly. Added message type
indicators for all `[]`bracketed feedback messages. Its been
problematic for GUI dev to try to determine the context of a message
and how it should be handled. These indictors should help tremendously
to remove context all together.
- Also altered how `$N` startup lines are presented when executed. They
now start with an open chevron > followed by the line and an :ok to
indicate it executed. The ok is on the same line intentionally so it
doesnt mess up a streaming protocol counter.
- Managed to save a 100+KB from refactoring parts of report.c. (Thanks
Vasilis!) Freed up room to alter the protocol a little.
- Wrote a markdown document on interface messaging to make it clear how
its intended to work. See interface.md in /doc/markdown
- Started to pull in some Wiki pages from the old grbl site and
beginning to update them for v1.1.
- Created new commit log for v1.1.
