BED_MESH_CALIBRATE methods documentation

BED_MESH_CALIBRATE support for rapid scans (METHOD=scan or rapid_scan) documentation is innacurate. Documentation at Bed Mesh - Klipper documentation says:

  • METHOD=scan: Enables surface scanning. The tool will pause over each position to collect a sample.

  • METHOD=rapid_scan: Enables continuous surface scanning.

The behavior is the opposite. There are quite a few social posts where people are asking why the scan stops at each mesh point during rapid_scan, and very few who know that the desired value is ‘scan’ to continuously scan. Note the documentation above is reversed.

Update: I just tried this on my Klipper mainlined SOVOL SV08 (Klipper Host version v0.13.0-375) and it behaved as documented. The Voron that had the reversed behavior is on v0.13.0-377. I updated both to 397, and now the behavior is consistent across both and matches documentation (scan=pause at each mesh point, rapid_scan=continuous scan).

Sorry for creating noise!
