implement lazy servo, only move for significant `delta_az` values #35

There really needs to be a tolerance on dome azimuth so that sufficiently small delta_az values do not trigger a move. A 'lazy servo' like this is common practice with dome controllers because it's often difficult to make small moves accurately. Without a tolerance the dome can end up hunting back and forth, endlessly chasing impossible precision.

It's possible that TheSkyX will already be doing this for us, in which case we don't want it being done at both ends.
