Implement segmented ridges with flexible positioning

[adbayonao]

I added a new feature to the compute_thermal_structure function by creating an additional function that allows for the creation of segmented ridges. Previously, only a single ridge segment could be placed at the boundary of the box. Now, it is possible to position the ridge at any location within the domain, and the ridge can consist of multiple segments. Each segment has its own thermal profile.

The new functionality works as follows: First, the coordinates of the ridge segments are used, where each segment has two parts: the start and end coordinates. Using these coordinates, delimiters are created, where the end of one segment aligns with the start of the next. These delimiters divide the domain into distinct regions, with each region corresponding to a specific ridge segment. To assign coordinates to these regions, the function determines which side of each delimiter a given point lies on, considering the direction of the delimiter. Once the domain is divided, the perpendicular distance from each point to the corresponding ridge segment is calculated, which in turn generates the thermal profile for that region. Each region is influenced by only one ridge segment.

This new functionality was implemented using multiple dispatch. Depending on the parameters provided by the user, either the original or the new version of the function is executed. This allows the function to handle both single ridge segment configurations and multiple segment configurations, providing greater flexibility in modeling ridge structures.

Additionally, I modified the add_box function to integrate this new feature, enabling the inclusion of segmented ridges within the box configuration.

thanks for your contribution - can you make the title of this PR a bit clearer so it reflects what this is about?

Also, if it is not yet ready to be reviewed you can mark it as draft (upper right corner)

if you want this routine to be accessible in the GMG package, this file needs two be loaded in one of the other files with include("Polygon3D.jl")

[adbayonao]

I am going to review this.

Note that we have a function add_polygon! already with test defined in test/test_setup_geometry.jl.

Which functionality does this PR add that is not yet possible with the existing routine?
And is it perhaps possible to extend the existing routine (and test file)?

I am going to try to extend the existing routine to add the new functionality

Ok, thank you. I changed the title.
