Description
New placing algorithm for state labels - now state labels should be less curvy and take more optimal position. Migrated from #842 with a few issues fixed.
Old Algorithm:
Custom implementation of the centerline labeling. Build voronoi to define a centerline and place label based on it.

Cons:
New algorithm:
For each state we cast rays from the state's pole of inaccessibility to define which label position is optimal. Horizontal positions take advantage, vertical is discouraged.
