#2144: totopoGeom have an extra arg to prevent addition of primitives to topology

Comment(by robe):
Not entirely. The reason is if you are throwing in a bunch of geometries
where you've already built a topology, any creation of a new face etc,
might imply a problem if your assumption is you have already created the
elemental pieces. So even as an admin you may want that safety net. Then
in some cases having primitive automatically created is expected and
desired (even possibly for admins).
I suppose you could go around changing set session_authorization and so
forth to change your role, but that sounds like a huge hassle to me (more
so than just adding an extra optional arg to the function)
