Real-time filament diameter measurement and control

Browse Source 
This feature allows the printer to read the filament diameter
automatically and adjust the printer in real time.  Added code to read
an analog voltage that represents a filament diameter measurement.  This
measurement is delayed in a ring buffer to compensate for sensors that
are a distance away from the extruder.  The measurement is used to
adjust the volumetric_multiplier for the extruder.  Some additional g
codes (M404, M405, M406, M407) are used to set parameters and turn
on/off the control. g code M221 is updated.  Pins for RAMPS1.4, RAMBO,
and Printrboard are identified for analog input.  The configuration file
is updated with relevant user parameters.
