Add "kick fan" feature - briefly run fan at full speed on start.

Browse Source 
Add a feature to run the cooling fan at full speed for a small period
(default 100ms) when first starting the fan.  Some fans wont reliably
start spinning at low power, and many fans have issue with the PWM at
low power.  However, once the fan starts spinning it can reliably be
set to a wide range of PWM values.
