Remove cumulative error in segments without cruising (take 1)

PR #2591 made LA compression always account for retractions instead of
discarding the current compression steps. While this fixed overextrusion
in short segments followed by wipes, it uncovered another issue in how
the compression steps are spread during the trapezoid calculations
leading to gaps in segments followed by retractions (as highlighted by
/some/ prints in #2693).

LA1.5 always computes the required target compression steps for a
segment at nominal speed. Because of how the extra steps are allocated
using multiples of the accelerating frequency, if the segment is
truncated before cruising is reached, an additional cycle of steps can
be inserted before deceleration starts. Deceleration is also not
guaranteed to be symmetric where up to _two_ cycles can be skipped
depending on the stepping cycle, leading to a situation where a
symmetric acceleration/deceleration block will lead up to a cycle of
accumulated compression.

While forcing an the extra step during deceleration is possible by
tweaking the error term (eISR_Err), this doesn't guarantee balance in
all cases. The underlying issue is that the function is aiming a
compression which cannot be reached (nominal speed), and not at the
effective max speed reached in the trapezoid, thus moving the average
result higher over time.

We fix this by calculating the effective maximum speed (and compression)
reached during the trapezoid, which stops compression on the required
cycle irregardless of the error term, balancing the result.

This is the first unoptimized POC: this is not for production: a lot of
calculations are redundand and could work directly in steps/s^2.
