Seth Hillbrand af10878954 Use Chamfer lines when deflating
Rounded line ends when deflating leads to microscopic jags in the
outline that are not visible but add substantial computation time and
minor error when computing polygon offsets.

Instead, the chamfer deflate method prevents these jagged lines by
clipping angles < 90° by the error level.  This does not impact deflate
calls where we explicitly require the angles to be maintained
