Description

Implements highly requested feature to be able to cut models using multiple dovetails in one cut. Current limit is one dovetail.

Goals:

address usecases
easy to use and understand
dont try to match professional CAD software feature set

According to #6976, usecase is primarily cutting up big models to fit on their printers buildplate.

Implementation:

multiple dovetail cuts by specifying count and gap between dovetails
