mesh: strong relaxation morphs round the bad elements (harmonic interpolation within a reach)

The owner's direction: bad nodes move to better places, the nodes within a reach follow by the graph Laplacian's harmonic extension, edges held, nothing outside the reach moves. mesh.node.relax strong mode takes below and reach and reports each round.
