switchkins docs: kinematicsTypeFlags() must cover every kinstype a module switches to
A module that implements kinematicsTypeFlags() itself returns -1 only for kinstypes it does not provide, since G12.1 refuses those; the header and the switchable kinematics chapter now say so.

xyzacb_trsrn, xyzbca_trsrn: declare the tool kinematics type
Both modules switch to a type 2, the tool kinematics the nutating TWP sims select with G12.1 P2 from their G53.n remap, but kinematicsTypeFlags() declared only types 0 and 1. The interpreter reads -1 as a type the module does not provide and refuses G12.1 P2, so every G53.1, G53.3 and G53.6 in those sims failed. Type 2 now returns 0: provided, neither identity nor primary.
The preview's SELECT_KINS_TYPE printed a line on every call, which floods the terminal once a program switches kinematics in a loop; it is now a silent stub like the other canon calls the preview ignores.

qtplasmac: fix dual-code button's optional inidicator
Previously this used "setCheckable", but user button actions are based on "pressed" and "released", and checkable works from "clicked". Since the GUI was also toggling setChecked, it created a race. Allowing qt to determine whether or not it was to be checked or not also did not work reliably. Changed to manually handling the button's sytling which is congruent with what is done elsewhere in the GUI very reliably.

halui: clear the MDI flag in the same pass that restores the mode

qtvcp: write the var file before reloading the preview on offset changes
The preview reads offsets from the var file, which the interpreter only writes when it synchs. Offset actions reloaded before that happened: the CALL_MDI ones did not wait for the MDI, and the others had no mode change to trigger the write when already in MDI mode.
Run them through one helper that waits, requests a plan synch, restores the previous mode and reloads.

halui: clear the MDI flag in the same pass that restores the mode
When a halui MDI command finishes, modify_hal_pins() restores the Task mode that was active before it, then clears halui_sent_mdi. Both steps tested emcStatus->status == DONE separately, but the restore goes through emcCommandSend(), which refreshes emcStatus while it waits for the echo. If Task echoes the restore while still reporting EXEC, the restore fires and the clear is skipped.
The stale flag makes the next sendMdiCommand() keep the old halui_old_mode instead of recording the current mode, so halui later restores the wrong mode. In tests/halui/mdi this shows up as "timeout waiting for task mode to get to 3 (it's 2)" (reported by Bertho in #4604) or "get to 2 (it's 1)", depending on which restore the Task stall hits.
Take the DONE decision once, before the restore, and use it for both steps.

halmodule: fix inverted success check in port read() and peek()
hal_port_read() and hal_port_peek() return true when the bytes were copied. The check was inverted, so a successful read or peek returned False, and read() had already consumed the data. Add tests/halmodule/port covering write, peek, peek_commit and read.
