SYNOPSIS

       combinePatchFaces

DESCRIPTION

       combinePatchFaces  is  a  Checks  for multiple patch faces on same cell and combines them.
       These result from e.g. refined neighbouring cells getting removed, leaving 4 exposed faces
       with  same  owner.  Rules  for merging: only boundary faces (since multiple internal faces
       between two cells not allowed anyway) faces have to have  same  owner  faces  have  to  be
       connected  via edge which are not features (so angle between them < FEATURE_ANGLE given in
       degrees [0-180])outside of faces has to be single loop outside of face should not  be  (or
       just slightly) concave (so angle between consecutive edges < concaveAngle)
