Added optional smoothing to muscle dynamics:

- `muscle` actuators take a new `tausmooth` attribute (defaults to 0) which when positive, smooths the transition between activation and deactivation timescales.
- `mju_muscleDynamics` takes 3 parameters, adding width of smoothing sigmoid.

- Added optional :ref:`tausmooth<actuator-muscle-tausmooth>` attribute to muscle actuators. When positive, the
time-constant :math:`\tau` of muscle activation/deactivation uses :ref:`mju_sigmoid` to transition smoothly
between the two extremal values given by the `Millard et al. (2013) <https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4023390>`__ muscle
model, within a range of width tausmooth. See :ref:`Muscle actuators<CMuscle>` for more details.
Relatedly, :ref:`mju_muscleDynamics` now takes 3 parameters instead of 2, adding the new smoothing-width parameter.
