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 about this data are retained after the cycle ends (modal). Then, about effectiveness, the cycle behaves like a normal subroutine.
