New configuration for support material interface extrusion width #4086

Merged

Currently, slic3r uses support_material_extrusion_width for interfaces. Assigning very low values to support_material_extrusion_width makes supports very easy to break which is very a good feature. But when support_material_extrusion_width is very low, interfaces don't stick to neither the lower support layers nor the adjacent extrusion lines.

So what I do is to define a new configuration parameter for support material interfaces, and I can still use very low values support_material_extrusion_width and higher values for support material interfaces for reliable extrusion. For example:

For nozzle_diameter = 0.4;
support_material_extrusion_width = 0.4 makes the supports very thin and easy to break and
support_material_interface_extrusion_width = 0.5 makes reliable and accurate extrusion lines for interfaces.

PR does not create any BC break, if the support_material_interface_extrusion_width is not defined, support_material_extrusion_width or extrusion_width will be used as the old behaviour.
