Computes the Minkowski sum \f$ P \oplus Q\f$ of the two given polygons
using the reduced convolution method.
Note that as the input polygons may not be convex, their Minkowski
sum may not be a simple polygon. The result is therefore represented
as a polygon with holes.
\pre Both `P` and `Q` are simple, counterclockwise-oriented polygons.

\ingroup PkgMinkowskiSum2
Computes the Minkowski sum \f$ P \oplus Q\f$ of the two given polygons.
The function computes the reduced convolution of the two polygons and
extracts those loops of the convolution which are part of the Minkowsi
sum. This method works very efficiently, regardless of whether `P` and
`Q` are convex or non-convex.
Note that as the input polygons may not be convex, their Minkowski
sum may not be a simple polygon. The result is therefore represented
