As discussed in #586 we should discover the options for implementing polygon/Ngon based frustums. I found these Wolfram MathWorld links useful:

Conical Frustum
Pyramidal Frustum which is a special case for Prismatoid

This is already possible via discretization of FrustumSurface:

f = rand(FrustumSurface)
viz(f)

# frustum with pentagon as the basis
m = discretize(f, RegularDiscretization(5, 2))
viz(m, showsegments=true)

The particular case with triangle basis is also known as Wedge and is already implemented as a Polytope.
