Title: [ftools - Eliminate] improve performance with new vector api calls

as per http://hub.qgis.org/issues/7714, Eliminate slivers used to take up the whole system memory,eventually causing an OS freeze, when large input data was used.

This fix just updates the existing code to new vector API, which itself gives good performance improvement.
