Polygon faces in Shapes layer are not shown in 3D if not contained in an *axis-orthogonal* plane

[jni]

🐛 Bug Report

If I make polygons that are planar but not on a single z (or whatever) plane, the faces of the polygon are not rendered, only the edges.

💡 Steps to Reproduce

import napari

viewer = napari.Viewer()
poly0 = [[0, 0, 0], [0, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1], [1, 0, 0]]
poly1 = [[2, 2, 2], [3, 3, 3], [3, 2, 2]]
viewer.add_shapes(
        [poly0, poly1],
        shape_type='polygon',
        edge_width=0.1,
        face_color='white',
        )

viewer.dims.ndisplay = 3
viewer.camera.angles = (-35, 50, 35)
viewer.camera.zoom = 150

napari.run()

Result:

💡 Expected Behavior

The face color of the polygons should be white as specified.

💡 Additional Context

I expect that this is a case of "we did the easy thing and left the hard thing till later" — only display polygons that are "easy" ie orthogonal planes, since the triangulation libraries are 2D-only. But polygons with co-planar vertices should be displayed correctly also. We could project them onto a 2D plane, do the 2D triangulation, then back-project the triangulations to 3D.
