GeometryNode currently uses a Path delegate as its underlying geometric shape. However, as the layout bounds of different shapes are calculated differently by JavaFX (e.g. a Rectangle is 1 pixel less than a Path representing it; path extends its layout bounds by 0.5 in each direction), we should use a Shape that best matches the given Geometry to achieve that the layout bounds of GeometryNode matches that of the corresponding JavaFX shape.

As long as we compensate that certain shapes render with a small gap towards their layout bounds (e.g. Polygon), its safe to go for Path alone. Resolving as WONTFIX though.
