1) If "support on build plate only" is enabled, the support columns are
newly trimmed to not land on top of an object. However this may make
the column too small to be stable.
2) Support enforcers newly take precedence over "supports on build plate only"
and over "don't support bridges".
3) Some refactoring of the support generator code for clarity: Reduced
some of the worst spagetti offenders.

Adjustment of GUI/3DBed.cpp,hpp to use the more stable triangulation algoritm
derived from SGI glut.
Fix of an extremely slow bridging calculation, caused by an extremely
slow bridged area detection function, of which the results were never used.
Fixes "slicing fails or takes too long #5974"
This is a fix of a bug, which was in Slic3r forever, where raw slices
were not cached, but recalculated from classified regions, where
merging the regions did not produce the original contour reliably.
Fixes [2.3.0-beta2] Odd bad slicing related to infill (?) percentage #5407
The two new config keys define a minimum vertical shell thickness.
The top shell thickness is calculated as a maximum of sum over
top_solid_layers * layer heights and top_solid_min_thickness,
the bottom shell thickness is calculated as a maximum of sum over
bottom_solid_layers * layer heights and bottom_solid_min_thickness.
The results of the formula above are shown at the Print parameter page
below the two new values to hint the user about the interaction
of the old versus new config values.
top_solid_min_thickness has no meaning if top_solid_layers is zero,
bottom_solid_min_thickness has no meaning if bottom_solid_layers is zero.
If the Elephant foot compensation is applied to the 1st object's layer,
the uncompensated 1st object's slice is newly used for calculation
of bridges, overhans, skirt, brim, raft and supports.
Layer::slices were renamed to Layer::lslices to simplify reading
of the code, to differentiate from LayerRegion::slices.
Layer newly remembers bounding boxes of slices,
the bounding boxes are used by G-code generator & newly the support
generator.
Slices are stored as ExPolygons, not ExPolygonCollection.
Fix of "Bridging infill not connecting with infill set to 0%" #1301
Top, bottom and bridging areas are extended into infill as long
as the infill is not zero. If the infill is zero,
top, bottom and bridging areas wound not expand into these "void" areas.
With this commit, the top, bottom and bridging areas are allowed to expand
into the "void" areas as long as these "void" areas are supported below
with perimeters or some other non-empty infill, and slightly beyond
these supporting areas into the voids (currently hard coded to 1mm).
