restoreSingletonInPlaceOfMultipleShards MethodStatic

Specialized logic for replacing clip fragments by an equivalent singleton.

• If there are baseCount + 1 or fewer fragments, do nothing.
• If there are more than baseCount+1 fragments:
  • drop them all to the cache
  • push a copy of the singleton.
• The use case for this is that a multi-step clipper (e.g. UnionOfConvexClipPlaneSets) may produce many fragments, and then be able to determine that they really are the original pre-clip polygon unchanged.
• The baseCount+1 case is the case where the entire original singleton is still a singleton and can be left alone.
• Calling this replacer shuffles the original back into the fragment array, and drops the fragments.
• This determination is solely within the logic of the caller.
