according to the user's preference. I templated the housekeeping
stuff for Boolean operations and step and repeat, so it's
relatively clean.
Still need to add the stuff to make a mesh vertex-to-vertex, and to
export sections of a mesh.

triangulate correctly; don't screw up generating them, and make
sure that the ratpoly stuff doesn't blow up near the singularity.
[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1953]
parallel axis (which are always lines parallel to that axis).
Remove short pwl segments when possible, to avoid short edges that
get misclassified.

a grid of quads, with adaptive spacing. The quads that lie entirely
within the trim polygon are triangulated and knocked out from the
polygon, and then the polygon is triangulated.
That works okay, though rather slow. But there are issues with
surfaces of revolution that touch the axis, since they end up with
a singularity. That will require some thought.

our specified section plane; we then split them according to the
start and endpoints of each STrimBy, using de Castejau's algorithm.
These sections get projected (possibly in perspective, which I do
correctly) into 2d and exported.
Except, for now they just get pwl'd in the export files. That's the
fallback, since it works for any file format. But that's the place
to add special cases for circles etc., or to export them exactly.
DXF supports the latter, but very painfully since I would need to
write a later-versioned file, which requires thousands of lines of
baggage. I'll probably stick with arcs.

and curve.cpp and surface.cpp contain the rest.
Also get rid of the meshError stuff; will just use the nakedEdges
mechanism for that. And I won't run the interference test
continuously, have added a menu item for that.
