Feature issue 15583 spiral z hop

[NadineMik]

Description

This pull requests adds a tangential spiral z-hop and thus fixes this issue.
It provides a smooth spiral z-hop after a retraction, where the beginning and the end of the spiral (or arc) is tangential to the previous and following movement. Additionally, a retraction can be performed throughout the spiral. The z-height increases linearly throughout the spiral and the speed in xy-direction is kept constant relative to the previous movement. After the following travel a normal unretract and vertical un-z-hop is performed.
The full documentation on this feature can be found over here.
This pull request is paired with a pull request in cura over here.

Type of change

• Two new files were added into path planning for calculating the arc.

• Inside the gcode export the arc is created and used to write a spiral z-hop (possibly with retraction).

• In the layer plan the logic for which type of retraction is performed is changed depending on the UI settings and possibly adding a spiral z-hop to the gcode.

• Added the spiral path to the gcode preview after slicing.

• Added unit testing for the arc path calculation.

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

How Has This Been Tested?

• Unit testing for arc calculation
• Test prints on internal printer
• Add photos of test prints

Test Configuration:

• Operating System:
  Window 10

Hi @saumyaj3,
thanks for pointing this out. There was a minor mistake in two of the gtest macro calls. I corrected it and pushed it to the branch in my fork. All checks which ran are pass now.
