## Detect and unite shared vertices in patches.
##
## Vertices of neighboring faces are detected and united to shared vertices.
## For this, the mutual squared distances between all vertices are
## calculated.  If all coordinates are closer than
## @code{2 * eps (max (abs (vertices(:))))}, the vertices are united to one.
##
## @var{J} holds the indices of the remaining vertices.
