Subject: [PATCH] Add three_d extension (duckdb-3d): 3D solid processing for
 city models

3D solid processing for CityJSON / 3DBAG / CityParquet city models: enclosed
volume, closed/manifold/oriented validation, footprint area, building height,
and 3D distance on SOLID_3D / GEOM_3D types. Self-contained C++ kernel.

+    `three_d` (repository `duckdb-3d`) makes the polyhedral solids in 3D city models —
+    buildings from CityJSON / 3DBAG, CityParquet, and similar sources — first-class,
+    queryable values in DuckDB. DuckDB's built-in geometry surface is 2D / simple-features
+    centric; this extension adds the solid-aware types and functions that 3D workflows need,
+    on a self-contained C++ kernel (no CGAL/SFCGAL dependency).
+
+    Two BLOB-backed logical types:
+    - `SOLID_3D` — closed polyhedral solids, backed by a versioned binary payload that
+      preserves shell/face topology.
+    - `GEOM_3D` — general 3D geometry (points, lines, polygons, multis, polyhedral surfaces)
+      for the class-generic accessor, distance, and serialization functions.
+
+    Function families (PostGIS-style `ST_*` / `ST_3D*` names, a curated 3D subset):
+    - Import / export: `ST_3DFromWKB`, `ST_3DTryFromWKB`, `ST_3DAsWKB`, `ST_Geom3DFromWKB`,
+      `ST_AsText`, `ST_AsGeoJSON`, `ST_AsBinary`
+    - Introspection: `ST_3DBounds`, `ST_3DNumSolids`, `ST_3DNumShells`, `ST_3DNumFaces`,
+      `ST_GeometryType`, `ST_NDims`, `ST_HasZ`, `ST_X`, `ST_Y`, `ST_Z`, `ST_ZMin`, `ST_ZMax`,
+      `ST_CoordDim`, `ST_Dimension`, `ST_NumGeometries`
+    - Validation: `ST_3DIsClosed`, `ST_3DIsManifold`, `ST_3DIsOriented`,
+      `ST_3DValidationReport`, `ST_IsPlanar`
+    - Measurement: `ST_3DVolume`, `ST_3DSurfaceArea` / `ST_3DArea`, `ST_Area` (footprint),
+      `ST_3DPerimeter`, `ST_3DLength`
+    - Distance: `ST_3DDistance`, `ST_3DDWithin`, `ST_3DMaxDistance`, `ST_3DDFullyWithin`,
+      `ST_3DIntersects`, `ST_3DClosestPoint`, `ST_3DShortestLine`
+    - Transform / construct: `ST_Translate`, `ST_Scale`, `ST_RotateX/Y/Z`, `ST_Force3D`,
+      `ST_ConvexHull`, `ST_3DCentroid`, `ST_3DExtrude`, `ST_MakeSolid`
+
+    It composes with the `cityjson` extension: read CityJSON / CityJSONSeq with
+    `read_cityjson(..., lod => '...')` to get `geometry` (WKB) plus `geometry_properties`
+    (JSON), then pipe both into `ST_3DFromWKB`. The extension is experimental and under active
+    development; APIs and payload formats may change.
