* @brief Implementation of the [Convex
* Hull](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_hull) implementation using [Graham
* Scan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_scan)
* @details
* In geometry, the convex hull or convex envelope or convex closure of a shape
* is the smallest convex set that contains it. The convex hull may be defined
* either as the intersection of all convex sets containing a given subset of a
* Euclidean space, or equivalently as the set of all convex combinations of
* points in the subset. For a bounded subset of the plane, the convex hull may
* be visualized as the shape enclosed by a rubber band stretched around the
* subset.
*
* The worst case time complexity of Jarvis’s Algorithm is O(n^2). Using
* Graham’s scan algorithm, we can find Convex Hull in O(nLogn) time.
*
* ### Implementation
*
* Sort points
* We first find the bottom-most point. The idea is to pre-process
* points be sorting them with respect to the bottom-most point. Once the points
* are sorted, they form a simple closed path.
* The sorting criteria is to use the orientation to compare angles without
* actually computing them (See the compare() function below) because
* computation of actual angles would be inefficient since trigonometric
* functions are not simple to evaluate.
*
* Accept or Reject Points
* Once we have the closed path, the next step is to traverse the path and
* remove concave points on this path using orientation. The first two points in
* sorted array are always part of Convex Hull. For remaining points, we keep
* track of recent three points, and find the angle formed by them. Let the
* three points be prev(p), curr(c) and next(n). If orientation of these points
* (considering them in same order) is not counterclockwise, we discard c,
* otherwise we keep it.
