Extended position reporting with both home and work coordinates. Home position now retained after reset. Other minor changes/fixes.

- Grbl now tracks both home and work (G92) coordinate systems and does
live updates when G92 is called.
- Rudimentary home and work position status reporting. Works but still
under major construction.
- Updated the main streaming script. Has a disabled periodic timer for
querying status reports, disabled only because the Python timer doesn't
consistently restart after the script exits. Add here only for user
testing.
- Fixed a bug to prevent an endless serial_write loop during status
reports.
- Refactored the planner variables to make it more clear what they are
and make it easier for clear them.
