Called TopoShape::makESHAPE in the original Toponaming branch. The code here has been modified as little as possible to get it to compile in current main.
Renamed to makeElementCompound and modified as little as possible to get it to compile in the new framework. All required auxilliary methods are also brought in.
In realthunder's original version this class was not derived from TopoDS_Shape, but rather duplicated
its interface and wrapped its non-const methods. This resulted in quite a lot of boilerplate, so in
the merged implementation we are now deriving from TopoDS_Shape and only overriding the non-const
methods. The downside is that if OCCT adds or changes methods we will have to add them proactively
to this class so that they don't bypass the TNP code.

* Added Part::Feature::getTopoShape/getShape() function that can obtain
shape from any object with proper implementation of getSubObject(). It
can even construct compound from group object with proper implementation
of getSubObjects().
* Modified ViewProviderExt to work on any object, because it now obtain
the shape using Part::Feature::getShape()
* Modified various Part features to obtain base/tool shapes using
Part::getShape(), which allows them to be any type of object,
including Link and groups.
* Modified various Part command to relax type requirement on selected
objects.
* Add support of link and group to dimension, and add dimension refresh
command
* Support link and group in simple command command, and add a few more
copy command variations.
* Add special handling of 'Shape' attribute in PropertyContainerPy and
use Part::Feature::getShape() to return shape for any object without
Shape property. This allows many python feature work with any object
without modification.
* GeometrySurface/CurvePy, add convenience attribute 'Rotation'
* TopoShapePy:
* Extended support of sub shape attribute, e.g. Compound1, Solid2,
SubShape3 ('SubShape' is used to access child shape of a compound)
* makeWires(), new API to sort and return wires given a list of edges.
* transformed/translated/rotated/scaled(), return a new shape with
some transformation.
* findPlane(), find the plane of a planar shape
* isCoplanar(), check if two shape are coplanar
