// This class fits a line to a set of ICOORD points.
// There is no restriction on the direction of the line, as it
// uses a vector method, ie no concern over infinite gradients.
// The fitted line has the least upper quartile of squares of perpendicular
// distances of all source points from the line, subject to the constraint
// that the line is made from one of the pairs of [{p1,p2,p3},{pn-2, pn-1, pn}]
// i.e. the 9 combinations of one of the first 3 and last 3 points.
// A fundamental assumption of this algorithm is that one of the first 3 and
// one of the last 3 points are near the best line fit.
// The points must be Added in line order for the algorithm to work properly.
// No floating point calculations are needed* to make an accurate fit,
// and no random numbers are needed** so the algorithm is deterministic,
// architecture-stable, and compiler-stable as well as stable to minor
// changes in the input.
// *A single floating point division is used to compute each line's distance.
// This is unlikely to result in choice of a different line, but if it does,
// it would be easy to replace with a 64 bit integer calculation.
// **Random numbers are used in the nth_item function, but the worst
// non-determinism that can result is picking a different result among equals,
// and that wouldn't make any difference to the end-result distance, so the
// randomness does not affect the determinism of the algorithm. The random
// numbers are only there to guarantee average linear time.
// Fitting time is linear, but with a high constant, as it tries 9 different
// lines and computes the distance of all points each time.
// This class is aimed at replacing the LLSQ (linear least squares) and
// LMS (least median of squares) classes that are currently used for most
// of the line fitting in Tesseract.
