The 4th axis rotation direction is backwards #1

Description

@wcraigtrader

Firmware: 0.9.5

On my machine if I was looking towards the chuck from the tail stock, G0 A90 turns clockwise, and G0 A-90 turns counter-clockwise. This is the opposite of most CNC machines, and the provided post-processors are broken for indexing operations. As an example, the DeskProto post-processor is broken. Here are the differences to fix that post-processor:

58c58
< AFactor = 1.000000
---
> AFactor = -1.000000

Other post-processors are most-likely similarly broken, but I only have DeskProto to test with.
