EllipsoidPointSeparationDistance Method (Cartesian)

If the given Cartesian does not lie within this ellipsoid this method returns the minimum separation between this ellipsoid on the given point. If the point is within the ellipsoid do intersect, the resulting negative separation is the depth that the point lies within this ellipsoid's surface.
