Make pen height at the end of a plot configurable #87

Description

@EmmaSimon

On my iDraw plotter, every time a plot finishes, instead of raising the pen and returning home, it instead presses the pen down much harder into the paper than it's configured to, and returns to home.

This seems to be the result of a reversed pen servo, and a fix for it was made on @jimmykl's fork here: jimmykl@81c7872

It might make sense to make the final up height configurable for general issues with different plotters and servos, rather than hard coding it to 0.

You can see this in the attached images, in the first one it's the line through the 2deg and 1mm circles. It didn't leave a mark because it pressed hard enough to bend the nib sideways. In the other one, it left a deep gouge in the paper, it was pressing significantly harder than the setting for the regular strokes.
