Returns a number representing the closest side of a rectangle defined by /a right, bottom, left, top to the point at (x, y), where the point may be in the interior of the rectangle or outside it.

The returned value may be:

Point is closest to top side of rectangle
Point is located on the top-right diagonal of rectangle, equally close to the top and right sides
Point is closest to right side of rectangle
Point is located on the bottom-right diagonal of rectangle, equally close to the bottom and right sides
Point is closest to bottom side of rectangle
Point is located on the bottom-left diagonal of rectangle, equally close to the bottom and left sides
Point is closest to left side of rectangle
Point is located on the top-left diagonal of rectangle, equally close to the top and left sides

Note: This method effectively partitions the space outside of the rectangle into Voronoi cells, so a point to the top left of the rectangle may be assigned to the left or top sides based on its position relative to the diagonal line extended from the rectangle's top-left corner.
