Implementing a new switch for the shape of support towers:

expanded to a grid (the old way) vs.
snug (like the upstream Slic3r, Cura or Ideamaker).

Snug supports suffered from the degeneracies when merging overhang islands
over a large number of layers when projecting the support towers down.
We borrowed the idea & a bit of code from Cura by simplifying the support
polygons by closing the concave cracks, see the smooth_outward() function
and the MutablePolygon class.
