T94144: Geometry Nodes: Dual Mesh creates duplicate edges

rBe9092110ff1c: Fix T94144: Duplicate edges in dual mesh node

Summary

The duplicated edges were caused by 'oversubdivided' edges, i.e. edges
where some of the vertices on them are only connected to two polygons.
For most 'normal' meshes this shouldn't occurr, or only very little, so
the performance impact of this change should be neglegible. In practice
this is also avoidable by triangulating the mesh first.

The fix finds these vertices and 'dissolves' them so that only one edge
is created.

635	The comment should mention that the mesh is not dissolved in the input mesh, but only in the data structures you derived from it.
636	This entire loop should be moved to a separate function. It shouldn't clutter this "main" function because it rarely has an impact on the result.
644	It seems like it dissolves an edge, but that edge might not actually include `vert_i`, maybe I'm missing something.
652	Is there some guarantee above the order of indices in `vertex_poly_indices`? Would be good to add comments to `vertex_poly_indices` similar variables.

540	`derived datastructures from the mesh` -> `data structures derived from the mesh`
543	Sometimes when there's a rather confusing situation like this, I create a bug report with some images if there isn't one already, then you can write something like (see TXXXX) here
565–566	+1 for the comment. I'd rather see something more specific than "the way this is created". What about the way it's created?
568–581	These checks could be moved to a separate function to avoid the duplication (only v1 vs v2 is different between them. And maybe the function name could give some hint about the meaning of the check
572	Setting the type to "Loose" is a way to make it ignored later on, right? Do you think it would make more sense to have a separate `Ignored` type? I'm not sure myself.
585–586	I don't really understand how putting poly indices in the vert fields of MEdge makes sense. Is there something I'm missing?

Wannes Malfait (Wannes) retitled this revision from Fix duplicate edges in dual mesh node to Fix T94144: Duplicate edges in dual mesh node.

572	I think setting it to 'loose' is fine, as it corresponds to what happens. I think of it like the when you hold 'alt' in the node editor to 'detach' a node from a link. In the same way the vertex gets detached in this case from the edge (not actually but that's how it's treated afterwards), and is therefore 'loose'.
585–586	Polygon indices in the input mesh become vertex indices in the dual mesh. I also added a comment to clarify this.

The code looks good to me now. Thanks!
