Using less organic structures where supporting multiple objects/instances #10659

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When slicing multiple objects, or multiple instances of an object that require supports, Prusa seems to always generate a "tree" for each object or instance of an object when using Organic Supports.

Describe the solution you'd like
An option to use only one "tree" base with branches that reach out to multiple objects where permitted by other settings such as preferred/maximum angle. This can potentially improve efficiency with regards to filament usage and print time.

Describe how it would work
Consider all objects on the bed when generating organic supports, not just per object. When multiple objects are judged to be within an acceptable distance and the set angle is met, generate branches to other neighbouring objects from a single organic "tree".

Describe alternatives you've considered
Beyond avoiding models that require supports in the first place, I'm not sure what alternatives there are.
