In this PR, the idea is that the geometry holds all the corners of the cell. This because in most of the cases, the geometry is constructed in place and the compiler theoretically could see through the things that are actually needed and only generate code for that. In other words, it would avoid making the copy if those values are not used.
Here is a benchmark for that hypothesis: https://quick-bench.com/q/IPXA-MuhVrdQ_9DSbgbcAyRW9ek
Note that this PR is based on #885 which fixes all the lifetime issues of the geometry objects.
