The following improvements have been introduced in Boolean Operations algorithm s:
1. UBTree is replaced with EBTree in Boolean operations to be able to add/remove elements into the tree of bounding boxes.
2. Repeated (nested) intersection of sub-shapes is performed with argument vertices whose tolerances increased during the operation.
3. The algorithms of Edge/Edge and Edge/Face intersection have been improved for the cases when the intersection point is located close to the edge boundaries .
4. New procedure has been implemented to ensure forced creation of Edge/Face common blocks in cases when the edge is really close to the face.
5. Post-processing of Face/Face intersection results has been improved.
6. Extension of the planar faces for Plane/Plane intersection is avoided.
7. Builder Face now better classifies potentially internal edges relatively to new faces with filtering by bounding boxes.
Side effect changes:
1. IntTools_ShrunkRange now keeps the length of the valid range of the edge.
2. The method BOPDS_DS::UpdateEdgeTolerance() has been removed as unused (replaced by the BOPAlgo_PaveFiller::UpdateEdgeTolerance()).
Test case for the issue 0029900.

Adjustments of the existing test cases.
Avoid using uninitialized variables.
1. IntTools_ShrunkRange::Perform
The algorithm of building shrunk range on the edge has been redesigned to make this range as big as possible.
By new definition it has to have the length not less than Precision::Confusion().
Although, the possibility of splitting of the edge has been taken into account. If it is impossible to put
vertex on edge in such a way that the tolerance spheres of the edge's vertices do not intersect the tolerance
sphere of the putting vertex the edge cannot be split. This possibility is saved in the new field
IntTools_ShrunkRange::myIsSplittable. It can be checked by the corresponding method IntTools_ShrunkRange::IsSplittable().
It returns TRUE if the shrunk range is computed successfully and it has the length more than the value of sum of two tolerance
values of the edge (for putting vertex, as its tolerance should not be less than the tolerance value of edge) and
two Precision::Confusion() values (to make two new edges valid by Shape validity criteria).
IntTools_ShrunkRange::myErrorStatus and IntTools_ShrunkRange::ErrorStatus() have been replaced by
the IntTools_ShrunkRange::myIsDone and IntTools_ShrunkRange::IsDone(). IntTools_ShrunkRange::IsDone() returns TRUE
if the shrunk range has been computed and it has length more than Precision::Confusion().
All computations of the parameters are performed using the GCPnts_AbscissaPoint, but if AbscissaPoint is unable to
compute the parameters the Resolution of the curve is used.
2. Boolean Operations algorithm now partially works with the edges that cannot be split or does not have the ShrunkData
at all (previously such edges have been considered as micro and just ignored). If by the result of some intersection such
edges should be split, i.e. the intersection vertex should be created, the algorithm just ignores them and no vertex is created.
But if such edges coincide with other shapes (other edges or faces) the algorithm uses them for creation of common blocks.
The information of the possibility for the edges to be split is saved in its PaveBlocks, in the new BOPDS_PaveBlock::myIsSplittable field.
It can be retrieved by the BOPDS_PaveBlock::IsSplittable() or BOPDS_PaveBlock::ShrunkData(), but these methods
make sense only after filling of the shrunk data for the pave block.
BOPTools_AlgoTools::IsMicroEdge() has an additional parameter that defines whether it is necessary to take into account
the possibility for the edge to be split or not. By default it is set to TRUE, i.e. by default the edge will be considered as micro
even if the shrunk range is computed, but it is too short for the edge to be split.
3. BOPAlgo_PaveFiller::PerformEF
To avoid creation of too close intersection vertices the intersection ranges of the edges participating in Edge/Face
intersections are reduced taking into account the common ranges computed during Edge/Edge intersections.
Thus, the Edge/Face intersection vertex is not created if it gets into a common range of the Edge/Edge intersection
between that edge and one of the face's edges. The tolerance value of Edge/Edge intersection vertex is increased
to reach the Edge/Face intersection.
4. Unification of the vertices of the section edges considered as micro edges.
If by the result of some Face/Face intersection the section edge is considered as micro edge,
the vertices of this edge will be united and the edge itself will be removed.
5. Test cases for the issues.
6. Adjusting test cases for issue CR27448.
