Neil Davis 8ddcd69ac0 Add support for '8-step mode' to easystepper
Currently, easystepper driver supports only '4-step mode' (12-23-34-41) when energizing the coils
This does not work with all motors & drivers (e.g. 28BJY-48 & ULN2003)

This commit adds support for 8-step mode (1-12-2-23-3-34-4-41)

Note: this commit breaks backward source compatibility for the factory/constructor functions.
