secondaryPolytope -- computes the secondary polytope of a compact polyhedron

Description

The secondary polytope parametrises the regular subdivisions of a polytope. See ... to be added. 
i1 : P = crossPolytope 2

o1 = P

o1 : Polyhedron
 
i2 : Q = secondaryPolytope P

o2 = Q

o2 : Polyhedron
 
i3 : vertices Q

o3 = | 1/3 1/6 |
     | 1/3 1/6 |
     | 1/6 1/3 |
     | 1/6 1/3 |
