Add pluggable resource writing to MuJoCo

Extend mjpResourceProvider with an optional write callback (write)
so that mj_encode, mj_saveXML, and mj_saveModel can write to any
registered provider.

 - Fixed loading of ``.mjz`` archives in :ref:`simulate<saSimulate>`: the archive was unmounted before model compilation,
   so assets contained in it failed to load. Failures in the ``mjz`` decoder now emit a warning with the underlying
   error instead of the generic "could not decode content" message.
+- Added support for resource writing via :ref:`mju_writeResource` and the ``write`` callback in :ref:`mjpResourceProvider`.
