stepper: Calculate step_distance from rotation_distance
Add support for automatically calculating the internal step_distance from new config parameters - rotation_distance, microsteps, full_steps_per_rotation, and gear_ratio. Signed-off-by: Kevin O'Connor <kevin@koconnor.net>

# Changes
+20201218: Rotary delta and polar printers must now specify a
+`gear_ratio` for their rotary steppers, and they may no longer specify
+a `step_distance` parameter. See the
+[config reference](Config_Reference.md#stepper) for the format of the
+new gear_ratio paramter.
+
20201213: It is not valid to specify a Z "position_endstop" when using
"probe:z_virtual_endstop". An error will now be raised if a Z
"position_endstop" is specified with "probe:z_virtual_endstop".
