main/fvi.c, main/fvi.h, main/physics.c: Improvement for fix_illegal_wall_interesection(): Move away from wall in right angle - not towards center.

Simplified and optimized code as well and removed check for degenerated Segments as not needed with this approach; Fixed some compiler warnings regarding set but unused variables
