lessWaste plugin for the AD5X with ZMOD and OrcaSlicer

Based on bambufy AD5X V1.2.10

*Does not work with Bambu Studio - removed functions for a performance boost

Changes relative to bambufy:

• Altered print start routine (stay in bucket more, raise bed in advance)
• LINE_PURGE toggle in dialog
• Handles large G-code

Test conditions:

• Enabled Plugins: recommend,lessWaste
• Klipper 13
• USB camera
• zmod 1.6.4.425.2-110-gba7dc9a8
• recommend 1.1.5-0-g1f759590
• AD5X-1.1.7-1.1.0-3.0.6-20250912-Factory firmware (Can downgrade with a flash drive. Best version IMO) https://github.com/ghzserg/zmod/releases/download/R/AD5X-1.1.7-1.1.0-3.0.6-20250912-Factory.tgz
• Mainsail interface

This is stable but I want to put more miles and tweaks on it before proposing anything official
