Control: reassign -1 freecad
Using the following hack, I was able to get the fanuc postprocessor to
output G-code.

This move tool type to a new local variable and only set this if the
ToolType feature is available in FreeCAD. I do not know in which
version of FreeCAD such tool type string is available, if it used to be
available and have moved location or if it will become available in a
future version of FreeCAD. For now I assume there is no support for
tapping in FreeCAD, and the code in question in effect just disable such
support in the Fanuc postprocessor.
