Width percentage #33

I noticed that PrusaSlicer calculates extrusion width over layer height when it's expressed as percentage. In OrcaSlicer the percentage is calculated over nozzle diameter.

It took me a while to find out why OrcaSlicer was so uncapable of printing the first layer with the converted settings. I think the script should warn about this type of differences in calculations when it finds percentages in settings. I haven't searched for other similar mismatches.

An easy fix would be to warn the user to transfer manually these settings. Another approach would be to calculate and convert the percentages to mm and transfer those to the converted config.
