toolhead: Rework lookahead flush to be more stable during high cpu

Change the lookahead queue so that it attempts to buffer at least
buffer_time_high amount of moves when first starting a print.  This
helps ensure the buffer is normally always full.

If the buffer falls below buffer_time_low then it is either due to the
end of a print or because octoprint/klippy is unable to keep up.
Change the code so that in this case the lookahead queue will attempt
to gather buffer_time_high amount of moves before restarting movement.

Update the default buffer_time_low to 1 second and buffer_time_high to
2 seconds.  With the above changes a smaller buffer_time_high and a
larger buffer_time_low are more practical.
