Split medial pigeonhole programme into its own paper

Move Section 5 of "Medial Tire Decompositions of Plane Triangulations"
into a new standalone paper, "The Medial Pigeonhole Programme", which
cites the medial tire paper for its terminology and notation. Convert
the three cross-references that pointed into earlier sections (annular
teeth, bite-face-count, boundary medial vertices) into citations.

Remove Section 5 from the medial tire paper and update its abstract to
drop the moved chain-pigeonhole claim, pointing to the follow-up paper.
