FlipFace issues #661

Description

@Walther

In Book 2 (the published version) there is a chapter on flipping objects. With the other improvements and changes that have been made to the tutorial, it apparently isn't necessary anymore; the first attempt of Cornell box renders correctly with all faces visible. (This caused some extra debugging - "why does this work even if it shouldn't yet?")

Apparently, in #602, the relevant parts have been already removed, but the published version online still has it. That part could be easily fixed by doing a publish some day when the new version is complete.

However! In Book 3, the flipface usage is reintroduced in order to make the rectangle-shaped light one-sided, to avoid bleed-through in the ceiling. Currently, Book 3 has no code for it. When the currently-merged version of Book 2 gets published, there will be no place for a reader to find the flip face methods. Perhaps a tiny remark, but something that occurred to me 😄
