Fix problems in handling the line data type

According to the source history, the internal format of line data type
has changed, but various functions working with it did were not updated
and thus were producing wrong results.

This patch addresses various such issues, in particular:

* Reject invalid specification A=B=0 on receive
* Reject same points on line_construct_pp()
* Fix perpendicular operator when negative values are involved
* Avoid division by zero on perpendicular operator
* Fix intersection and distance operators when neither A nor B are 1
* Return NULL for closest point when objects are parallel
* Check whether closest point of line segments is the intersection point
* Fix closest point of line segments being on the wrong segment

Aside from handling those issues, the patch also aims to make operators
more symmetric and less sen to precision loss.  The EPSILON interferes
with even minor changes, but the least we can do is applying it to both
sides of the operators equally.
