Description:
        ON_Circle is a circle in 3d.  The cirle is represented by a radius and an 
        orthonormal frame       of the plane containing the circle, with origin at the center.

        An Is_Valid() circle has positive radius and an Is_ Valid() plane defining the frame.
        
        The circle is parameterized by radians from 0 to 2 Pi given by 
     t -> center + cos(t)*radius*xaxis + sin(t)*radius*yaxis    
        where center, xaxis and yaxis define the orthonormal frame of the circle's plane.
