Klipper Preprocessor script for Cura

Klipper Preprocessor is a Cura Post Processing Script to improve the output G-Code for Klipper usage.

Currently it allows the following improvements:

• Add SET_PRINT_STATS_INFO so that Klipper can know what is the exact total layer count, and the current layer number in real-time.
• Add TIMELAPSE_TAKE_FRAME so that Klipper together with moonraker-timelapse can take snapshots on each layer change to make timelapse videos.
• Run preprocess_cancellation tool to add object cancellation data to the resulting G-Code, enabling Klipper to cancel any specific single object while printing.
• Run klipper_estimator to add a more accurate time estimation to the resulting G-Code.
