Description

From #4326

This corridor renders:

``` javascript
var viewer = new Cesium.Viewer('cesiumContainer');
var scene = viewer.scene;

var redCorridorInstance = new Cesium.GeometryInstance({
geometry: new Cesium.CorridorGeometry({
positions : Cesium.Cartesian3.fromDegreesArray([
-16.41549000000001,28.44423000000001,
-16.41549000000001,28.44423000000001,
-16.41505000000001,28.44430000000001,
-16.41507000000001,28.44430000000001,
-16.41473000000001,28.44460000000001,
-16.41429000000001,28.44452000000001,
-16.41430000000001,28.44453000000001,
-16.41428000000001,28.44452000000001,
-16.41416000000001,28.44434000000001,
-16.41415000000001,28.44434000000001,
-16.41397000000001,28.44408000000001
]),
width : 1,
vertexFormat : Cesium.PerInstanceColorAppearance.VERTEX_FORMAT
}),
attributes : {
color : Cesium.ColorGeometryInstanceAttribute.fromColor(new Cesium.Color(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5))
}
});

var primitive = scene.groundPrimitives.add(new Cesium.GroundPrimitive({
geometryInstances: [redCorridorInstance],
appearance: new Cesium.PerInstanceColorAppearance({
closed: true
})
}));

scene.camera.setView({
destination: Cesium.Cartesian3.fromDegrees(-16.41549000000001, 28.44423000000001, 100)
});
```
But this one doesn't

``` javascript
var viewer = new Cesium.Viewer('cesiumContainer');

var redCorridor = viewer.entities.add({
name : 'Red corridor on surface with rounded corners and outline',
corridor : {
positions : Cesium.Cartesian3.fromDegreesArray([
-16.41549000000001,28.44423000000001,
-16.41549000000001,28.44423000000001,
-16.41505000000001,28.44430000000001,
-16.41507000000001,28.44430000000001,
-16.41473000000001,28.44460000000001,
-16.41429000000001,28.44452000000001,
-16.41430000000001,28.44453000000001,

-16.41415000000001,28.44434000000001,
-16.41397000000001,28.44408000000001
]),
width : 1,
material : Cesium.Color.RED.withAlpha(0.5),
outline : true,
outlineColor : Cesium.Color.RED
}
});

viewer.zoomTo(viewer.entities);
```

Research direction

Start by running the supplied Primitive API and Entity API examples and compare their corridor rendering paths. Investigate the Entity corridor configuration using the provided positions, width, material, and outline settings; done means the Entity API renders the corridor as the Primitive API does.
