load_cell: Load cell gram scale (#6729)
* Add gram scale features to load_cell
* Convert sensor counts to grams and make this available via unix socket and object status
* Basic GCodes for tearing and reading the load cell
* Guided Calibration
* Diagnostic gcode to check the health of the load cell
* Update load_cell Documentation
* Add API server load_cell/dump_force endpoint
* Update [load_cell] config with calibration fields
* Add G-Code commands for working with load cells
* Add status reference for load_cell objects
