// A Path_on_surface contains two vectors of equal length n
// The first one is a vector of darts called m_path and the second one a vector
// of booleans called m_flip.
// If n = 0, the path represented by those vectors is the empty path.
// Else, it is the path represented by the n-1 first elements of both vectors,
// at the one we add the m_path[n-1] dart if m_flip[n-1] is false and the
// opposite of this dart if m_flip[n-1] is true i.e. if m_flip[i] is true means
// that the i-th dart m_path[i] has to be flipped.
// We use flips because sometimes opposite darts doesn't exist on surfaces with
// boundaries. But if m_flip[i] is true doesn't necessary mean that
// m_path[i] is 2-free
