Shut down heaters during BL-Touch probe event

The electro-magnetic interference from the bed and nozzle are affecting
the BL-Touch repeatability for some users.   This problem can be helped
by shutting down the heaters during the actual probe event and then
quickly turning them back on.

Because this code is messing with the heaters, it is written in a
paranoid manner.  It only turns the heaters back on if everything is
EXACTLY as it expects things to be.  The BL-Touch probe must have been
put into a deployed state less than 20 seconds prior, or the stow()
function will NOT turn the heaters on.

This code has been tested and works for both G28 and probing functions.
