flip direction of the infill layer with each interface layer.
Unfortunately the flipping of support interface directions may not work
reliably due to base support layer heights growing at different rate
from the interface layers.
for offset2() with clear meaning.
New ClipperUtils functions: expand(), shrink() as an alternative
for offset() with clear meaning.
All offset values for the new functions are positive.
Various offsetting ClipperUtils (offset, offset2, offset2_ex) working
over Polygons were marked as unsafe, sometimes producing invalid output
if called for more than one polygon. These functions were reworked
to offset polygons one by one. The new functions working over Polygons
shall work the same way as the old safe ones working over ExPolygons,
but working with Polygons shall be computationally more efficient.
Improvements in FDM support generator:
1) For both grid and snug supports: Don't filter out supports for which
the contacts are completely reduced by support / object XY separation.
2) Rounding / merging of supports using the closing radius parameter is
now smoother, it does not produce sharp corners.
3) Snug supports: When calculating support interfaces, expand the projected
support contact areas to produce wider, printable and more stable interfaces.
4) Don't reduce support interfaces for snug supports for steep overhangs,
that would normally not need them. Snug supports often produce very
narrow support interface regions and turning them off makes the support
interfaces disappear.
Fixed crash with zero support base spacing.
The bug fix was not correct and it disabled the new "zig-zag" sparse
infill generator, leading to GH issue #7014
Somehow improved missing interface layers for snug supports
by propagating full overhangs when generating interface layers.
Fixed generation of soluble interfaces for support enforcers,
where base support was used for steeper overhangs.
Disabled filtering out thin regions from the lower layer, that will
not be covered by perimeters, thus they are not supporting the current layer.
However this may lead to a situation where regions at the current layer
that are narrow thus not extrudable will generate unnecessary supports.
For example, see GH issue #3094
There was a bug for more than 4 years, which likely triggers now more
often with the introduction of raft_contact_distance parameter,
which is usually significantly smaller than support_material_contact_distance.
There were no support towers built at the raft for contact layers
below the print_z of the first object layer.
Zero support base spacing is newly allowed, switching from
the "support base" infill pattern to rectilinar infill pattern.
Why someone would want to use a solid infill for support base eludes me,
but it is simpler to support it instead of working out some rules on
minimum support base density.
Fixes Support patern spacing set to zero causing crash #6989
1) Changed the name of the variable "brim_offset" to "brim_separation"
for clarity.
2) Added legacy conversion after loading an old 3MF that does not define
then new "brim_separation" variable: The "brim_separation" is being
filled in with the "elefant_foot_compensation" value to produce
equal brim separation to the old PrusaSlicer that saved that 3MF file.
Quite some time ago, many of the TBB components were deprecated in favor
of their near-equivalents in the STL or, in the case of task_scheduler_init,
were broken up and reconstituted under a less ad-hoc logic. Every time a header
file marked deprecated gets included, a rather loud warning is emitted, which
leads to a complete TBB's domination over the stderr stream during build time,
making it harder to notice _legitimate_ warnings.
Instead of merely muting the output with TBB_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATED_MESSAGES,
perform a genuine migration away from the deprecated components with the added
benefit of achieving a source compatibility with oneTBB, the successor to TBB
which has dropped the deprecated API for good.

Renamed its_create_neighbors_index() / its_create_neighbors_index_par() to its_face_neighbors() / its_face_neighbors_par().
New variant of its_face_edge_ids() to create edge IDs from face neighbors.
Fixed some incorrect use of _NDEBUG, it should be NDEBUG.
PrintObject::slice_support_volumes() returns newly Polygons, which are cheaper than ExPolygons.
Updated SeamPlacer and SupportMaterial to use regions defined as Polygons, not ExPolygons.
TriangleSelector::get_facets_strict() returning a patch with T-joints retriangulated.
New slice_mesh_slabs() - slicing projections of a triangle patch into top / bottom layers of slices, for MMU top / bottom segmentation.
TriangleMeshSlicer - use 64 mutexes instead of one when scattering sliced triangles into layers. This makes a big difference on modern many core desktop computers.
When applying MM segmented regions to input regions, the split regions are now re-merged with 10x higher positive offset epsilon to avoid creating gaps.
When testing for existence of paint-on supports or seam, use a more efficient has_facets() test, which does not deserialize into the expensive TriangleSelector tree structure.
GLIndexedVertexArray newly uses Eigen::AlignedBox<float, 3> for efficiency instead of our double based BoundingBoxf3.
Improved MMU painting refresh speed by optimizing generation of the vertex buffers.
Refactored MMU segmentation - projection of painted surfaces from top / bottom.
1) Parallelized.
2) Using the new slice_mesh_slabs() instead of projecting one triangle by the other and merging them with Clipper.
Fixes Solid infill where there should be none #6482
Also the safety offsetting was revised to be enabled only where needed,
the "do safety offset" is now easy to discover by
a new ApplySafetyOffset::Yes enum, and safety offset over union, which
is better done by offset() / offset_ex() has been replaced with
new union_safety_offset() / union_safety_offset_ex() functions, which
better convey their meaning and which could be better optimized than
union() with the safety offset applied.
Fixed some old support and infill issues.

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.

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.

were missing abruptly when going down.
The issue was caused by extracting support areas from a grid and
filtering the extracted islands by intersection with the input islands.
Sometimes the input islands were a bit bigger than the extracted contour,
thus some of the samples of the input islands did not fall into
the extracted contour.
If the new support_material_bottom_interface_layers is left at default -1,
then support_material_interface_layers is used for both top and bottom
interface layers.
If support_material_interface_layers == 0, then neither top nor bottom
interface layers are being extruded.
Disabled a suspicious piece of legacy code inherited from Slic3r,
which tries to fill in spots inside support interfaces. The code was
too aggressive and it was doing more harm than good.
New config field for switching the support interface pattern between
default (rectilinear for non-soluble interface, concentric for soluble interface),
explicit rectilinear and explicit concentric.
Also the config layer was reworked a bit to reduce some switch statements
on ConfigOptionEnum<> templates.

Fixes Phantom Support columns interfere with brim #3396
Fixes false generation of brim when supports are used #3395
This is a work in progress, as the brim generator currently produces
different brim areas from what the support generator expects.
When projecting the horizontal or nearly horizontal support enforcers or blockers
into object layers, the projection may fall on a layer above or below the layer
where it should in case the nearly horizontal support enforcer or blocker
triangles are intersecting the slicing plane of one of the object layers.
Due to numerical issues, projection of the support blocker or
enforcer triangles may not fall to the same side of the slicing plane
as when slicing the object. To make the projection robust, horizontal triangles
are newly projected to both the layer below and above if they are close
to the object slicing plane.
Projection into a grid has been reworked to use the AGG rasterizer.
This fixes#5209 and #6067.
Also the raster is now being oversampled by maximum 8x8 samples
and the supports are only allowed to expand inside the cell.
This significantly reduces leakage of supports through object walls,
which fixes#5054.
