Account for the outer face in the Heawood face-sum identity

The bounded-face sum omits the outer face at outer-boundary vertices, so
restrict the gluing identity to interior vertices (where all cluster
interfaces live) and recover a colouring by carrying a single +/-1 label
on the unbounded face f_inf, giving Heawood's identity on the full cubic
dual for the Tait step.
