Nyall Dawson 11dc9cca18 Add force_polygon_cw and force_polygon_ccw expression functions
These are recommended for use instead of the existing force_rhr
function, due to the variability in definition of the "right hand
rule" between different software applications. Using an explicit
force_polygon_cw/ccw function removes user confusion when the
results vary between different applications.
