polyPath -- constructor of single piece polynomial path

Description

Takes as input a list of polynomials in the same ring. Constructs a Path object with one piece equal to the list of normalForm of the polynomial components of the path given in input. Automatically sets the dimension attribute of the object to the length of the list given as input.

i1 : R = QQ[t];
i2 : X = polyPath({t,t^2})

o2 = Path in 2-dimensional space with 1 polynomial segment:

           2
     {{t, t }}

o2 : Path
i3 : X // getDimension

o3 = 2
