#726: topology.ST_GetFaceGeometry fails to honour holes

Component:  postgis  |     Version:  trunk

 For some reason ST_GetFaceGeometry is _not_ using BuildArea, which is a
 function I was pretty sure I realized for the specific purpose of using it
 for ST_GetFaceGeometry...

 Well, anyway, it's using Polygonize directly, and taking the first polygon
 returned from it. In my case this seems to be the hole rather than the
 external one. BuildArea would have done a better job at it.

 I've committed a testcase showing it
 (topology/test/regress/st_getfacegeometry.sql).
 Not automated (as it's failing).

 Power People: can you add a 'topology' component ? TIA
