Hanif Koh 4e43ab8306 Make Painted Multi-Material Slicing Deterministic
Painted (multi-material) models sliced to slightly different G-code on
every run: ±1 µm wall coordinates and reordered islands. Hashing each stage
of the segmentation across runs showed the projected painted lines and the
per-layer Voronoi segmentation were stable; the raw top/bottom projections
from slice_mesh_slabs() were not. Three causes, all thread-order dependent:

- slice_slabs_make_lines() appends each slab's intersection lines from a
  parallel facet loop and never restored a canonical order, so the loop
  start vertices and polygon order from make_slab_loops() depended on
  scheduling. Sort every slab's lines with the same key slice_make_lines()
  already uses.
- segmentation_top_and_bottom_layers() wrote a layer's shell projections
  into neighbouring layers' vectors from the parallel loop, relying on a
  parity double-buffer that assumes TBB ranges are exactly one group wide
  and aligned, which blocked_range does not guarantee; two threads could
  append to the same vector. Each source layer now records its projections
  in its own slot and they are gathered per target layer in source order.
- The painted-line sort in post_process_painted_lines() was not a total
  order: projections of one span from facets of different colours tied on
  every key and the first one won the span. Colour and end points now break
  the tie.

Three multi-threaded runs of each painted fixture now give one G-code;
unpainted output is unchanged.
