Refuse a Filament Flow Ratio of 0 Instead of Writing NaN Extrusion

A used filament with a flow ratio of 0 sliced in the GUI and wrote
E-92233720368547.758 on every extrusion move: GCode::_extrude multiplied
the flow by the ratio and divided by it again, giving 0 * 0 / 0 = NaN.
The CLI already rejected the value through the config check, but
Print::validate never looked at it.

Print::validate now stops the slice with an error naming the filament
when a used filament's flow ratio is 0 or nil, and _extrude converts the
flow to extrusion length with the bare filament cross-section, so the
ratio is applied once without a divide.

+The sweep slows down with the number of edges crossing a scan line, so a layer
+cut into thousands of pieces makes every whole-layer boolean expensive.
+`diff_ex_by_piece()` and `intersection_ex_by_piece()` take a subject of
+non-overlapping `ExPolygons`, group them into tiles with
+`ClipperUtils::tile_expolygons()`, and run each tile in parallel against only
+the clip polygons near it, cut to the tile's box. Below 128 pieces there is a
+single tile, and they are the plain `diff_ex()` / `intersection_ex()`.
+
+The result covers the same area as the plain call. Without the safety offset
+the rings are the same. With it, each tile unites only the clip polygons near
+it, so a clip edge that the whole-layer union splits where it crosses a distant
+clip polygon stays whole, and a crossing with the subject can round 1 unit
+differently. The tiles' results are concatenated in tile order, so the order of
+the output `ExPolygons` differs from the plain call.
