... And also changes units when setting torque mode, from Nm to N.

These readouts can be useful for detecting slack lines or over
tight lines during print or calibration.
They can also enable automatic homing, since homing a Hangprinter
includes setting the correct pre-tension.

The change of units when setting torque mode is to be consistent
across interfaces. Newtons of force are also much easier to
understand and harder to mis-type.

New usable torque mode values are in the range ~10,
instead of around ~0.05 like we had before, which invited the
typos "0.5" and "5.0", who could both create dangerous situations.

Your new code in GCodes3.cpp function ConfigureLocalDriver doesn't appear to me to cover subfunction 8 yet. (EDIT: or subfunction 4).

Yes, you're right. Will fix.
