    /* Vector rotation by transformation matrix: r is the original vector, r_T is the rotated vector,
       and phi is the angle of rotation. Solution approach by Jens Geisler.
           r_T = [cos(phi) -sin(phi);
                  sin(phi)  cos(phi] * r ;
       
       For arc generation, the center of the circle is the axis of rotation and the radius vector is 
       defined from the circle center to the initial position. Each line segment is formed by successive
       vector rotations. Single precision values can accumulate error greater than tool precision in some
       cases. So, exact arc path correction is implemented. This approach avoids the problem of too many very
       expensive trig operations [sin(),cos(),tan()] which can take 100-200 usec each to compute.
  
       Small angle approximation may be used to reduce computation overhead further. A third-order approximation
       (second order sin() has too much error) holds for nearly all CNC applications, except for possibly very
       small radii (~0.5mm). In other words, theta_per_segment would need to be greater than 0.25 rad(14 deg) 
       and N_ARC_CORRECTION would need to be large to cause an appreciable drift error (>5% of radius, for very
       small radii, 5% of 0.5mm is very, very small). N_ARC_CORRECTION~=20 should be more than small enough to 
       correct for numerical drift error. Also decreasing the tolerance will improve the approximation too.
       
       This approximation also allows mc_arc to immediately insert a line segment into the planner 
       without the initial overhead of computing cos() or sin(). By the time the arc needs to be applied
       a correction, the planner should have caught up to the lag caused by the initial mc_arc overhead. 
       This is important when there are successive arc motions.
