 Priority:  medium   |  Milestone:  PostGIS 3.3.0

 Spin-off of #5105, ST_Area can report non-zero area for completely flat
 polygons. Example:
 {{{
 POLYGON((
   29.262792863298348 71.22115103790775,
   29.26598031986849  71.22202978558047,
   29.275379947735576 71.22044935739267,

   29.29461024331857  71.22741507590429,

   29.275379947735576 71.22044935739267,
   29.26598031986849  71.22202978558047,
   29.262792863298348 71.22115103790775
 ))
 }}}

 Note how the polygon ring is going forward and backward onto the exact
 same vertices.
