operations_generic.sweep ignores most parameters when creating faces

[shangaslammi]

Any Edges (as opposed to Faces) to passed to sweep() ignore the parameters multisection, is_frenet, normal and binormal so it is impossible to e.g. create a face by sweeping an edge with a fixed normal.

One can use the direct api methods to do this:

curve_line = ThreePointArc((2, 0), (0, 0.5), (-2, 0))
curve_face = Face.extrude(curve_line, (0, 0, 4))

line = Line((2, 0, -2), (2, 0, 2))
arc_face = Pos(X=4) * Face.sweep(line, curve_line)

I'm guessing you'd like the sweep() operation to support 1D objects?

[shangaslammi]

Sweep already does support 1D objects, it's just that the additional parameters like multisection or normal are silently ignored, apparently because Shell.sweep does not yet support them:

build123d/src/build123d/operations_generic.py

Line 1107 in f6f9167

swept = Shell.sweep(sec, path_wire, transition)

I think those should be straightforward to pass on to OCC's BRepOffsetAPI_MakePipeShell function. I can test adding multisection and binormal support also for Shell.sweep and make a PR if it works the way I expect.
