   merge_r.c
   merges non-convex facets

   see qh-merge_r.htm and merge_r.h

   other modules call qh_premerge() and qh_postmerge()

   the user may call qh_postmerge() to perform additional merges.

   To remove deleted facets and vertices (qhull() in libqhull_r.c):
     qh_partitionvisible(qh, !qh_ALL, &numoutside);  // visible_list, newfacet_list
     qh_deletevisible();         // qh.visible_list
     qh_resetlists(qh, False, qh_RESETvisible);       // qh.visible_list newvertex_list newfacet_list

   assumes qh.CENTERtype= centrum

   merges occur in qh_mergefacet and in qh_mergecycle
   vertex->neighbors not set until the first merge occurs
