With stack-per-move, the piston always pulled the first stack. A stack no output accepts came back as leftovers to the front of the chest and was pulled again every pulse, so everything behind it never moved. The piston now remembers the last pulled slot and continues from the next one, costing an unroutable stack one idle pulse per rotation instead of blocking the pipe forever. Gated by 'round-robin-pull' (default on). The pull clears the exact slot it read instead of using removeItem, which with a mid-inventory start could take a different, equal stack.

Touches the same pull loop as #1376, happy to rebase whichever lands second.
