I'm hoping you will merge this low impact change which adds a new safety feature. This is primarily for RAMPS-FD v1 (with inverted heater controls). I have only proposed this on the Due tree as I'm not sure AVR has any boards with inverted heaters. RAMPS-FD v1 is still the only version readily available as of Feb-2017 and this is the most straightforward solution to reduce the risk of any thermal runaway. Changes are isolated with #ifdef and should not have any impact for users who do not require it. ENABLE_POWER_ON_STARTUP == 2 is handled in Extruder::manageTemperatures() and enables / disables the power pin when heat is required and would therefore allow heatbed / hotend power to be isolated via relay or similar method. Please let me know if any changes required to merge.

…tbed required

Only turn on power pin when hotend and or heatbed are enabled (target temperature >= 20)
and no sensor defect present otherwise turn off power pin as a safety feature
