 - Added ``bind`` method and removed id attribute from :ref:`mjSpec` objects. Using ids is error prone in scenarios of repeated attachment and
   detachment. Python users are encouraged to use names for unique identification of model elements.
 - Removed ``nroll`` argument from :ref:`rollout<PyRollout>` because its value can always be inferred.
