Poly2TriMeshGenerator, upgraded and rebased

[roystgnr]

Reason

This is now both sufficient and necessary to close #20192; Rocstar's stuff isn't going to be integrated in the near term, for sure.

Design

PolyLineMeshGenerator gives us the ability to specify arbitrary boundary loops, then Poly2TriMeshGenerator lets us triangulate boundaries specified by those loops (or by the boundary of some input 2D Mesh), with optional holes (that can either be left unfilled or can be stitched to the mesh defining them) defined by other input meshes, with various options for mesh and/or boundary refinement and for mesh smoothing.

Impact

This adds two new mesh generators, along with tests and documentation.

Along the way I added input file support for vector parameters, and fixed a typo in the doc I was using as an example for how to write MOOSE docs. DistributedMesh support for StitchedMeshGenerator is also in here.

This obsoletes #21303. The main changes since then are in the checklist there.

Job End user mac on 816b8b5 : invalidated by @milljm

Old packages were pulled by mistake

[roystgnr]

Looks like this might be an real exodiff on Mac. I've been afraid of this potentially happening for a while, trying to avoid cases where there are multiple valid Delaunay triangulations of a test case, but looks like something of that sort caught up with me.

[GiudGiud]

lemme know when/if you want my eyes on this

[roystgnr]

I'd appreciate that, thanks! I committed the responses to Logan's concerns last week, but he's a bit busy lately, and in any case the more eyes the better.

[roystgnr]

... and apparently it needs more attention from my eyes too. I've now discovered that, just because a feature has test coverage for bugs in libMesh and has an interface here doesn't mean the interface doesn't have bugs. I'll fix that, and scan the code coverage misses for anything else important I'm not hitting.

[YaqiWang]

I was check the doc of this mesh generator and noticed this:

There is a space before/after 2 in the name.

[roystgnr]

There is a space before/after 2 in the name.

Right!

If you know anyone who can fix it, just about every number in https://mooseframework.inl.gov/source/index.html gets rendered with the same bug.

In this case, though, for reasons discussed in the previous PR, Poly2TriMeshGenerator shouldn't be the final name, it's just a placeholder until we have a final decision on something better. I'm currently leaning towards XYDelaunayGenerator, but open to other suggestions+opinions.

[YaqiWang]

So, @roystgnr this is indeed doing triangulation? I am very excited about this capability. What triangulator is this using?

[roystgnr]

Poly2Tri does the initial triangulation; all the triangulation refinement code is my own ... and the result gets handed back to Poly2Tri before the user sees it, just in case I've made a mistake and come up with something non-Delaunay.
