Closes #1811
There is a measure zero set of quadric/particle orientations that lead to division by zero in the quadric intersection routine. One likely example is if a user inputs a general plane as a quadric, which will cause failure of this routine every time at the moment and segfault OpenMC, as shown in #1811. the code comment explains a little more. I think there are other edge cases this covers, but haven't put time into figuring what exactly they are.
