Improvements with respect to 2.9.6-beta1

• Use area-dominant extruder instead of the default one when applying "Maximum width of a segmented region". Incorporate filament_load_time and filament_unload_time into cooling slowdown logic.
• Fan speed is restored to the speed used before a custom toolchange g-code.
• There are new custom G-Code tags ;EXCLUDE_E_START and ;EXCLUDE_E_END allowing to define sections that aren't incorporated into filament consumption.
• There are new custom G-Code tags ;FLUSH_START and ;FLUSH_END allowing to define a section for nozzle cleaning. Filament consumption inside this section is shown in the right panel as flush.
• Track flush and wipe tower filament consumption per extruder and display per-extruder weight in the right sidebar.
