Modal effect of changes in the cycle (P-CHAN-00210)

The modal G functions, circle geometry data and the current feed rate active before a cycle call are restored when the cycle ends, i.e. changes in the cycle with respect to this data are not retained.

If the "cycle_changes_modal" parameter is assigned the value 1, changes in the cycle with regard to this data are retained after the cycle ends (modal). Then, with regard to effectiveness, the cycle behaves like a normal subroutine.
