#5962: Inconsistent results in multipoint clipping

Comment (by pramsey):

 Oh, duh, so the inconsistency is in the box short cut. The GEOS code
 enforces strict containment as the rule, but the PostGIS calling code has
 a box shortcut that is accepting the whole object if its bbox is covered
 by the rectangle.
