Add Shapely-Compatible intersection() Functionality

Overview

This PR implements a complete Shapely-compatible intersection() feature for ToGo, enabling geometric intersection operations between all geometry types. The implementation includes both object-level methods and a module-level function, comprehensive tests, performance benchmarks, and documentation.

Features Added

Core Implementation

• GEOS Integration: Added GEOSIntersection_r() function binding for robust geometric computations
• Object Methods: Implemented intersection() on all geometry classes:
  • Point.intersection(other) - Point-specific intersection
  • LineString.intersection(other) - Line intersection operations
  • Ring.intersection(other) - Ring intersection operations
  • Polygon.intersection(other) - Polygon intersection operations
  • Geometry.intersection(other) - Core implementation (~80 lines)
• Module Function: Added Shapely-compatible intersection(geom1, geom2) function
• Total Code: ~350 lines of production Cython code

API Support

Three levels of API for maximum flexibility:

# 1. Object-level API
poly1 = Polygon([(0, 0), (2, 0), (2, 2), (0, 2), (0, 0)])
poly2 = Polygon([(1, 1), (3, 1), (3, 3), (1, 3), (1, 1)])
result = poly1.intersection(poly2)
# 2. Module-level function (Shapely-compatible)
from togo import intersection
result = intersection(poly1, poly2)
# 3. Geometry object API
geom1 = Geometry("POLYGON((0 0, 2 0, 2 2, 0 2, 0 0))", fmt="wkt")
geom2 = Geometry("POLYGON((1 1, 3 1, 3 3, 1 3, 1 1))", fmt="wkt")
result = geom1.intersection(geom2)

Return Types

The intersection operation intelligently returns appropriate geometry types:

• Point ∩ Point → Point or Empty
• Point ∩ Line/Polygon → Point or Empty
• Line ∩ Line → Point, LineString, or MultiLineString
• Line ∩ Polygon → Point, LineString, or MultiLineString
• Polygon ∩ Polygon → Point, LineString, Polygon, or MultiPolygon
  Empty geometries have is_empty == True.

Testing

Comprehensive Test Suite ✅

• 41 tests with 100% pass rate (completed in 0.08s)
• 7 test classes covering all geometry types:
  • TestGeometryIntersection (9 tests)
  • TestPointIntersection (6 tests)
  • TestLineStringIntersection (5 tests)
  • TestPolygonIntersection (6 tests)
  • TestRingIntersection (3 tests)
  • TestModuleLevelIntersection (8 tests)
  • TestIntersectionEdgeCases (4 tests)
• Coverage: Overlapping/non-overlapping geometries, touching edges, points in polygons, crossing lines, polygons with holes, multi-geometries, error handling

Test Results

✅ TestGeometryIntersection       9/9 PASSED
✅ TestPointIntersection          6/6 PASSED
✅ TestLineStringIntersection     5/5 PASSED
✅ TestPolygonIntersection        6/6 PASSED
✅ TestRingIntersection           3/3 PASSED
✅ TestModuleLevelIntersection    8/8 PASSED
✅ TestIntersectionEdgeCases      4/4 PASSED
Total: 41 PASSED in 0.08s

Performance Benchmarks

Added 5 intersection benchmarks comparing ToGo vs Shapely:

1. Overlapping polygons (1000 iterations) - Common use case
2. Line crossing polygon (1000 iterations) - Mixed geometry types
3. Point in polygon (2000 iterations) - Fast point operations
4. Complex polygon (200 iterations) - Country-scale geometries
5. Crossing lines (2000 iterations) - Line-line intersection
   ToGo shows competitive or better performance compared to Shapely across all benchmarks.

Implementation Details

GEOS Integration

• Uses GEOSIntersection_r() for robust geometric computations
• Proper context management with GEOS_init_r() and GEOS_finish_r()

The error handling is inconsistent within the intersection implementation. Ring.intersection() correctly raises ValueError for None (line 2136) following the codebase pattern, but then raises TypeError for wrong type (line 2142). For consistency with existing methods like nearest_points() and shortest_line(), both should raise ValueError.
