powered makerbot style endstop support #3

Description

@thawkins

If you find yourself laying out a new revision, can you add support for powered end stops, these are very common on 3D printers and can be had for pennies, they include all the filters at the switch end and have an LED for confirming operation.

see: http://marlinfw.org/assets/images/docs/hardware/endstops/makerbot_endstop.png

The only requirement, is to add an extra +5v pin on the end-stop pin-outs, so that each end-stop row has

[Signal] - [Grnd] - [Vcc] as per the RAMPS cards

Typical prices are very very low.

here is a listing from my region, but these devices can be found everywhere

the price here for 6 pre-wired end-stops is about $3
