CSharp Performance: when reusing clipper objects, currently clipper s…

…ets the internal lists capacity, even if the capacity already sufficient. This causes C# to drop the currently allocated array and create a new, smaller one. (AngusJohnson#750)

This changes check if the capacity is sufficient before setting it to reduces allocations.
