// Usage:
// newpoly = reindex_polygon(reference, poly);
// Description:
// Rotates and possibly reverses the point order of a polygon path to optimize its pairwise point
// association with a reference polygon. The two polygons must have the same number of vertices.
// Rotates and possibly reverses the point order of a 2d or 3d polygon path to optimize its pairwise point
// association with a reference polygon. The two polygons must have the same number of vertices and be the same dimension.
// The optimization is done by computing the distance, norm(reference[i]-poly[i]), between
// corresponding pairs of vertices of the two polygons and choosing the polygon point order that
// makes the total sum over all pairs as small as possible. Returns the reindexed polygon. Note
// that the geometry of the polygon is not changed by this operation, just the labeling of its
// vertices. If the input polygon is oriented opposite the reference then its point order is
// vertices. If the input polygon is 2d and is oriented opposite the reference then its point order is
// flipped.
// Arguments:
// reference = reference polygon path
