Split fills

[byorgey]

I am not entirely happy with this, since it seems overly complicated, and even I am not quite sure I believe it is really correct. Still, it does help squish a tricky bug (diagrams/diagrams-svg#43) which is actually a problem for some users (timbod7/haskell-chart#19), and passes the tests I could think of (see test/SplitAttr.hs).

See also the discussion at #141 .

It does seem annoyingly complicated for something conceptually simple. But I think we should put it into 1.1 even if we hope to do something nicer eventually.

@jeffreyrosenbluth, have you had a chance to look at this? You've thought more about diagrams/diagrams-svg#47 and RTree than I have.

Actually I did have a chance to give it a fairly careful read. And although
it is a very nice piece of code, I agree with you both that it feels like
it is overly complicated given the task at hand. But until we find another
solution I also agree that we should include it in 1.1.
