CW/JB: libsupermesh needs updating

A MacOS user has failed to build libsupermesh due to the fact that the libspatialindex inside of libsupermesh is very old. How should we proceed? Why do we have 2 libspatialindex's (here and here)??

JB: I don't think RTree PyPI package will save us: The headers are not bundled in the wheel, so libsupermesh cannot link.

NB: Interpolate PR

#2297
