8b5f306851 Cleaned up variable spindle output (PWM). Code and config comments.
- Variable spindle speed output as a configuration option. Thanks
@EliteEng! When enabled, the Z-limit (D11) and spindle enable(D12) pins
switch to allow access to the hardware PWM output on pin D11.
Otherwise, everything should work as it does.

- Removed option for inverting the spindle and coolant enable pins.
This is a safety hazard, especially for the spindle. When Grbl
initializes, all pins are momentarily low until it finishes booting. If
an invert is enabled, this means the spindles can be energized briefly
during this time. If users need signal inversion, it’s recommended to
just wire in an inversion circuit instead.

- Cleared out references to spindle variable output in terms of step
signal. This isn’t complete and requires more deliberation before
installing.

- Cleared up and cleaned up some code and config comments.

f10bad43b2 Minor bug fixes: Homing travel calculations. Cycle resuming after spindle and dwell commands.
- Homing travel calculations fixed. It was computing the min travel
rather than max.

- Auto-start disable and pausing after spindle or dwell commands.
Related to plan_synchronize() function call. Now fixed, but still need
to work on the system state.

- Pushed a fix to make this branch more Arduino IDE compatible. Removed
extern call in nuts_bolts.c

- Updated the stepper configuration option of enabling or disabling the
new Adaptive Multi-Axis Step Smoothing Algorithm. Now works either way.

- Updated some copyright info.

420c7c2584 Added coolant control (M7*, M8, M9). Mist control can be enabled via config.h.
- Added coolant control! Flood control (M8) functions on analog pin 0.
Mist control (M7) is compile-time optional and is on analog pin 1. (Use
only if you have multiple coolants on your system). Based on work by
@openpnp.

- Fixed some variable assignments in spindle control.
