New function : pgr maximal planar

[Mohit242-bit]

This PR adds one new function named pgr_makeMaximalPlanar to pgrouting:

• pgr_makeMaximalPlanar: Returns the set of edges needed to make each connected component of a planar graph maximal planar (triangulated).

This is a final merge PR containing commits from several different PRs combined.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features

• Added the experimental pgr_makeMaximalPlanar function for triangulating eligible connected components of undirected planar graphs.
• Added Planar family documentation, examples, diagrams, release notes, and usage details.
• Non-planar components and graphs with fewer than three vertices return no added edges.

Tests

• Added coverage for edge cases, output types, inner queries, and regression scenarios.

Walkthrough

The PR adds experimental pgr_makeMaximalPlanar support. It implements graph augmentation, PostgreSQL bindings, regression tests, SQL examples, documentation, release notes, and documentation assets.

Changes

Maximal Planar Function

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Maximal-planar graph algorithm include/c_common/enums.h, include/planar/makeMaximalPlanar.hpp, src/coloring/coloring_driver.cpp, src/cpp_common/utilities.cpp	Adds the MAXIMALPLANAR operation. The algorithm processes connected components, checks planarity, augments eligible graphs, records inserted edges, and returns sorted results.
PostgreSQL function binding src/planar/makeMaximalPlanar.c, sql/planar/*, sql/sigs/pgrouting--4.1.sig, src/planar/CMakeLists.txt	Adds the PostgreSQL set-returning implementation, internal function, public SQL wrapper, signatures, and build registration.
Examples and regression validation docqueries/planar/*, pgtap/planar/makeMaximalPlanar/*	Adds SQL examples and expected results. Adds tests for edge cases, inner queries, crash behavior, function types, and disconnected components.
Documentation and release integration doc/planar/*, doc/src/*, doc/_static/page_history.js, NEWS.md	Adds Planar Family and function documentation, sample images, release-note entries, page history, and documentation build registration.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 444c6

The new function may silently return an empty or partial edge set for non-planar components, leaving callers unable to distinguish rejection from a graph that needs no additional edges; this concrete API correctness risk should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. The documented runtime bound also needs a minor follow-up to include map-building cost.

Poem

A rabbit inspects each planar line,
Adds neat edges in a graph design.
SQL carries the results with care,
Tests check every case laid bare.
Docs now guide the trail,
Hop, hop—the new function prevails!
