       This method gets called with a list of unscaled Z coordinates and outputs
       a vector pointer having the same number of items as the original list.
       Each item is a vector of polygons created by slicing our mesh at the 
       given heights.
       
       This method should basically combine the behavior of the existing
       Perl methods defined in lib/Slic3r/TriangleMesh.pm:
       
       - analyze(): this creates the 'facets_edges' and the 'edges_facets'
            tables (we don't need the 'edges' table)
       
       - slice_facet(): this has to be done for each facet. It generates 
            intersection lines with each plane identified by the Z list.
            The get_layer_range() binary search used to identify the Z range
            of the facet is already ported to C++ (see Object.xsp)
       
       - make_loops(): this has to be done for each layer. It creates polygons
            from the lines generated by the previous step.
        
        At the end, we free the tables generated by analyze() as we don't 
        need them anymore.
        
        NOTE: this method accepts a vector of floats because the mesh coordinate
        type is float.

        would ignore holes inside two concentric contours.
        So we're ordering loops and collapse consecutive concentric loops having the same 
        winding order.

        If we computed a "nesting tree" we could also just remove the consecutive loops
        having the same winding order, and remove the extra one(s) so that we could just
        supply everything to offset() instead of performing several union/diff calls.

        the previous sorting method, based on $b->contains($a->[0]), failed to nest
        loops correctly in some edge cases when original model had overlapping facets
