fix: rewrite ClosestLine and PolygonPolygonClosestLine logic for improved accuracy on sloped polygons (#3124)


Improves accuracy of PolygonPolygonClosestLine and ClosestLine functions. Big disclaimer, I heavily relied on ChatGPT for the math logic here... extra eyes greatly appreciated. I myself plan to do a deeper review on the math here before merging.

Before:

I also think there's a faster way to do the `PolygonPolygonClosestLine` logic. Right now it iterates over each side of the polygon, draws a line, and returns the shortest result. Potentially it could use SAT to determine the closest sides, but I had unexpected results

```ts
PolygonPolygonClosestLine(polygonA: PolygonCollider, polygonB: PolygonCollider) {
    const aSat = SeparatingAxis.findPolygonPolygonSeparation(polygonA, polygonB);
    const bSat = SeparatingAxis.findPolygonPolygonSeparation(polygonB, polygonA);

    return ClosestLine2(aSat.side, bSat.side);
}
```
