Problem 52308. ICFP2021 Hole-In-Wall: Calculate Score

The ICFP held its annual 3-day contest in July 2021 with Hole-In-Wall. Contest Specification.
The contest folds the figure in Red to fit within the hole shown in light grey
This Challenge is to evaluate the Score defined in the Specification when given the hole vertices in hxy and figure vertices in pxy. The hxy matrix is [N+1,2] where N is number of hole vertices. A repeat of the first vertex occurs for drawing the hole. The pxy matrix is [P,2] where P is the number of figure vertices. The pxy matrix will be valid and fit within the hole.
Score can be summarized as the sum of minimum square distances to the figure from each unique hole vertex. Score=calc_score(hxy,pxy)
These types of contests like to avoid non-integer calculations thus the distance squared calculation.
