Description
Surface-surface intersection. Given two surfaces construct combined surface.
Called 'boolean' since the volume of resulting surface will encompass
the volumes of the original surface according to some boolean operation:
- all which is in surface1 AND in surface2 (intersection)
- all which is in surface1 AND NOT in surface2 ('chop' out surface2)
- all which is in surface1 OR in surface2 (union)

Algorithm:
1 find edge-surface intersection. Class 'surfaceIntersection'.
2 combine intersection with both surfaces. Class 'intersectedSurface'.
3 subset surfaces upto intersection. The 'side' of the surface to include
  is based on the faces that can be reached from a user supplied face
  index.
4 merge surfaces. Only the points on the intersection are shared.
