Adding an environment variable to enable ray biasing along the normal vector in mantra. The environment variable is MANTRA_BIAS_NORMAL and can take on values of 0 or 1 (default 0 is disabled). This change affects all ray tracing functions in vex, and can often permit lower bias values to be used than would otherwise be needed to achieve similar quality output.

Fixed bugs in the Triangulate2D SOP: one crashing bug, a case where constraints were not respected, and a case where excessive refinement happened. Triangulations may be slightly different now.
