Computation of the convex hull of a set of lattice points in 3D by Quick Hull algorithm.

# 1000000 points in digital ball of radius 1000
./examples/geometry/tools/exampleLatticeBallQuickHull3D 1000000 1000

outputs

#points=999908 #vertices=4480 #facets=8947
purge duplicates= 281 ms.
init simplex    = 24 ms.
quickhull core  = 336 ms.
compute vertices= 24 ms.
