This PR moves the default thermistor definitions from thermistor.py to a new temperature_sensor.cfg file, introduces a new "Generic 3950" thermistor, and deprecates the "NTC 100K beta 3950" definition.

As discussed in #4054 , it seems most real-world "beta 3950" sensors don't actually follow a true "beta 3950" temperature curve, and instead follow a curve defined in the new "Generic 3950" table. Deprecating the "NTC 100K beta 3950" definition seems like the best way to raise awareness and move printers over to a more accurate configuration.

Edit: Change name of new thermistor to "Generic 3950".

After a little further thought, I think "Generic 3950" is probably a better name than "RepRap 3950". I have updated this PR accordingly.

I am curious when this will be released?

Move the default list of sensor modules from heaters.py to a new
temperature_sensors.cfg config file.

It seems the common "beta 3950" thermistors generally follow a
temperature table defined by the new "Generic 3950" definition.  Using
a table that actually follows the "beta 3950" temperature curve is
generally less accurate.  Deprecate the existing "NTC 100K beta 3950"
definition to avoid this common issue.
