Returns a list of commands that are supported by the motor
controller. Possible values are `run-forever`, `run-to-abs-pos`, `run-to-rel-pos`,
`run-timed`, `run-direct`, `stop` and `reset`. Not all commands may be supported.
`run-forever` will cause the motor to run until another command is sent.
`run-to-abs-pos` will run to an absolute position specified by `position_sp`
and then stop using the command specified in `stop_command`.
`run-to-rel-pos` will run to a position relative to the current `position` value.
The new position will be current `position` + `position_sp`. When the new
position is reached, the motor will stop using the command specified by `stop_command`.
`run-timed` will run the motor for the amount of time specified in `time_sp`
and then stop the motor using the command specified by `stop_command`.
`run-direct` will run the motor at the duty cycle specified by `duty_cycle_sp`.
Unlike other run commands, changing `duty_cycle_sp` while running *will*
take effect immediately.
`stop` will stop any of the run commands before they are complete using the
command specified by `stop_command`.
`reset` will reset all of the motor parameter attributes to their default value.
This will also have the effect of stopping the motor.
