Remove the 300ms heater control delay?

I think this is more or less a proper fix for eliminating delay:

Heaters control is reactive, the faster we apply new PWM - the faster we will se…e a response. Add command to directly apply PWM as fast as it arrives. As a bonus, we relaxed time constraints, `Timer Too Close` should happen "never". As a safety check, we still have `Missed scheduling of next digital out event`. This code is mostly related to this topic/comment: https://klipper.discourse.group/t/remove-the-300ms-heater-control-delay/17771/11 I'm not sure about the right value for `reqclock`. If I understood the code correctly the `reqclock=0` command should be sent in the next batch. This is more like a simple and safe solution because we just avoid timer calculation on the host. I think the proper way to do this for heaters is to make another timer function and update fields `on_duration, off_duration, end_time` on each command arrival. Thanks.
