5226; Made the Backgauge Slow Distance and Reaction Parameters Bi-Directional
Pathfinder

Changes made for Pathfinder 5226 controllers.

In open loop control the controller will use the slow distance parameter to transition into slow to be able to make a more controlled stop and the reaction distance to coast into a full stop. The problem is that there is only one dedicated parameter for both the slow and reaction distance parameters for the backgauge. Meaning both forward and reverse movement will use the same parameters to stop. This can be a problem if each direction reacts differently when stopping.

The solution to this problem was to give dedicated slow and reaction distance directional parameters for the backgauge. Now the user can tune the machine for both forward and reverse moves.
