boolean operations doesnt consistently simplify lines #106

Currently this is visible on the flat screw heads

the call to line_simplification in cut_mesh does not seem to return the same simplification on both sides

In this case, this is caused by flat triangles coming the from revolution generating the top circular surface. The ngons selections are stopping to flat triangles in the current boolean operations implementation.

This will be fixed by #107 first, but it could be good to make the the ngon selection robust to flat triangles anyway
