[2.0.x] Automatically reset stepper timeout (#10179)

* Automatically reset stepper timeout in manage_inactivity

Any code that adds moves to the planner can skip resetting the stepper timeout. We can let `idle` / `manage_inactivity` reset the timer whenever it detects any moves in the planner.

* blocks_queued => has_blocks_queued
