Elliptic cylinder.

As requested in joostn/OpenJsCad#89, @kaosat-dev, @z3dev :)

Here's how it goes:

check the PR you want to backport and find out the commits you need, here:

f5a339de9278

Clone the commiters repo (the commit is obviously there), and then run format-patch:

git format-patch -1 f5a339d
# 0001-Elliptic-cylinder.patch

Open your own csg.js fork, checkout a new branch from master and :

# Check you can safely apply the patch
git apply --check 0001-Elliptic-cylinder.patch

If you got an error, you'll need to fiddle with the patch by editing it. I attach the original patch and edited here: Archive.zip.
I basically removed the "-" lines that removes something that is not in the original file, then changes the line number to match the new csg structure.

git apply --check 0002-Elliptic-cylinder.patch
# No errors !
git checkout -b elliptic_cylinder
# --signoff option to register who did the patch adaptation job ;)
git am --signoff < 0002-Elliptic-cylinder.patch
git push origin elliptic_cylinder

There's maybe a better way for doing this, but that's the best I know.
