Segment pause bug-fix committed

Some new properties for you for the latest SVN:

Extruder0_ShortLength=1.5
Extruder0_ShortSpeed=1
Extruder1_ShortLength=1.5
Extruder1_ShortSpeed=1

Adrian's new code speeds up the nozzle for short segments. This work-around massively improves previous problems caused by segment-pausing (the pause between segments was causing a noticeable extrudate dump between short segments, over a radius for example. The new fast speed option evens things up a lot).

Temperature constraints for the extruder in GenericExtruder.setTemperature() have also been tightened from 10% & 20% to 3% & 6%.

Happy printing ;-)

I'm printing a Z Pulley Rim with this now, and it's looking good. I might be able to speed up printing a fair bit with this now that printing at speed has less variation in line width.

I've also found the FastSpeed variable in reprap.properties, which might help reduce stringing.

Vik :v)
