tmc2130: Rework current selection to prefer vsense=1
It is preferable to program the tmc drivers with an irun (or cs) setting near 31, as otherwise the driver may have reduced microstep precision. It was possible for the driver to be programmed with irun=16 or irun=17 when it could have been configured with irun=31 with vsense=1 instead. This would occur on tmc2130/tmc2208/tmc2209 drivers for values around 0.900 to 1.000 amps (when using a typical sense_resistor settings of 0.110 Ohms). Change the code to prefer using vsense=1 to avoid this issue. Signed-off-by: Kevin O'Connor <kevin@koconnor.net>

## Changes
+20220116: The tmc2130, tmc2208, tmc2209, and tmc2660 `run_current`
+calculation code has changed. For some `run_current` settings the
+drivers may now be configured differently. This new configuration
+should be more accurate, but it may invalidate previous tmc driver
+tuning.

20211230: Scripts to tune input shaper (`scripts/calibrate_shaper.py`
and `scripts/graph_accelerometer.py`) were migrated to use Python3
by default. As a result, users must install Python3 versions of certain
