Fix trimPolylines function  #622

Description

@qcoral

Currently, the bt.trim() function does not handle polylines correctly. In the following example, as you change the values of t1 and t2, the drawing appears to loop the first line of each square until at each corner.

const width = 120;
const height = 120;

const gridsize = 2; //smallest grid array 

setDocDimensions(width, height);

const finalLines = []; // we'll put our final lines here

const squareWidth = 10
const squareHeight = 10

for (let i = 0; i < gridsize; i++) {
  for (let j = 0; j < gridsize; j++) {
    const square = rect(squareWidth, squareHeight);
    bt.translate(
      square, 
      [
        (squareWidth) * i, 
        (squareHeight) * j
      ]
    );

    bt.join(finalLines, square);
  }
}

bt.trim(finalLines, 0.00, 0.04);

drawLines(finalLines);

function rect(w, h) {

  // notice how this is an array of arrays
  return [
    [
      [-w/2, h/2],
      [w/2, h/2],
      [w/2, -h/2],
      [-w/2, -h/2],
      [-w/2, h/2],
    ]
  ]
}

Ideally, bt.trim() would not loop between the first elements of each array in the finalLines array.
