Follow-up to #65. In hollow mode the puzzle connectors hang off the 0.8mm outer wall with the hollow channel directly behind them.

hollow_connector_fill (default 2mm) keeps that much solid material around every intersection and edge puzzle connector, male and female. 0 gives the current behaviour, saving a little material at the cost of weaker connectors.

Seen from below, with the fill:

with connector fill

Without it (hollow_connector_fill=0, same as main today):

without connector fill

I actually had this implemented already and forgot to include it in my previous PR. Without the extra material around the connections they are a lot weaker (and with some filaments don't work at all/fall apart). This change adds a negligible amount of material to the "hollow" option, but makes interconnections significantly more solid.
