Sonny Jeon 2dc920a8e5 Planner optimizations.
- Improved planner execution speed by 5% or more. Re-factored most of
the calculations in terms of the square of velocity. This removed a lot
of sqrt() calculations for every planner_recalculate.

// "The Stepper Driver Interrupt" - This timer interrupt is the workhorse of Grbl. It is based
// on the Pramod Ranade inverse time stepper algorithm, where a timer ticks at a constant
// frequency and uses time-distance counters to track when its the approximate time for any
// step event. However, the Ranade algorithm, as described, is susceptible to numerical round-off,
// meaning that some axes steps may not execute for a given multi-axis motion.
// Grbl's algorithm slightly differs by using a single Ranade time-distance counter to manage
// a Bresenham line algorithm for multi-axis step events which ensures the number of steps for
// each axis are executed exactly. In other words, it uses a Bresenham within a Bresenham algorithm,
// where one tracks time(Ranade) and the other steps.
// This interrupt pops blocks from the block_buffer and executes them by pulsing the stepper pins
// appropriately. It is supported by The Stepper Port Reset Interrupt which it uses to reset the
// stepper port after each pulse. The bresenham line tracer algorithm controls all three stepper
// outputs simultaneously with these two interrupts.
//
// NOTE: Average time in this ISR is: 5 usec iterating timers only, 20-25 usec with step event, or
// 15 usec when popping a block. So, ensure Ranade frequency and step pulse times work with this.
