stepper: Add get/set_tag_position() and convert calc_position()
Rename calc_position() to calc_tag_position() and have it calculate
the value of the position from the last stepper set_tag_position()
call. This enables the calc_tag_position() code to be more flexible
as it can be run with arbitrary positions.
