Flexible lanes load slower; purge at the previous filament's temperature

- flex_lanes.cfg: a 5 s poller sets SET_LONG_MOVE_SPEED to 50 mm/s (AFC's
  minimum) for lanes whose material is TPU/TPE/flex and back to the
  configured long_moves_speed otherwise; reapplied after a restart.
- BLOBIFIER_CHECKED: remembers the temperature of the filament in the
  nozzle (saved nozzle_last_temp). When it is more than flush_margin
  (10C) above the new filament's, the purge runs at that temperature and
  the nozzle cools back afterwards, so the leftover melts out (seen: ASA
  leftover with TPU loaded at 210C).
