firmware_retract: Remove z_hop support
The current z_hop support did not work correctly with common slicers that change Z height between retract and unretract, and it did not work correctly with slicers that issue a retract at the end of a print and then at the beginning of the next print. The z_hop support is therefore being removed until these issues can be fixed. Signed-off-by: Kevin O'Connor <kevin@koconnor.net>
