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.

Fixes Separate counts for floor and roof support interface layers #4288
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.

Problem description:
When "Print Settings -> Multiple Extruders -> No sparse layer" is enabled, then "Smart" Wipe Tower is used for wiping.
As a result, each layer with tool changes is splited for min 3 parts: first tool, wiping, second tool ...
But vertical slider wasn't respect to this case.
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.
the Chromebooks share their file system to Linux using the 9p file
system, which does not support setting file ownership. Newly PrusaSlicer
will detect platform and it will not panick if copy_file() cannot set
file ownership after copying. It just logs the incident, and on
chromebooks the loglevel for that incident is "Info", not "Error".
Adjusted the full screen mode to contain menu bar.
Moved Platform.cpp/hpp to libslic3r
