Improvements and bug fixes in sensor delay buffer for filament sensor code

Improvement to avoid reinitializing delay buffer with every print. Fixed
issues in buffer indexing and memory out of bounds due to floating point
imprecision.  Simplified the code by avoiding conversion to standard
diameter and 1cu mm extrusion, which caused complications in determining
mm extruded.
