stepper: Change default max_error from 50us to 25us
Change the default compression error window (max_error) from 50us to 25us - it's common for stepper motor drivers to have 30us for their "pwm fixed off time" and it would be good for the steps to be scheduled within that time. Signed-off-by: Kevin O'Connor <kevin@koconnor.net>
