- Add `qH` and `qHDiagInv` to `mjData` to save factorized modified inertia.
- Add `mj_EulerSkip`, `mj_implicitSkip`, to `engine_forward.c`.
- Using the above functions, implement `mj_stepSkip` in `engine_derivative.c`.
- Add `mjd_stepFD` and `mjd_transitionFD` to `engine_derivative.c` to compute `mj_step` Jacobians.
- Exploit "Skip" functionality for speed.
- Correctly handle quaternion derivatives.
- Handle warmstarts and control limits.

The introduction of additional mjData arrays for the implicit integrator caused in a shift in data alignment in memory. In certain combinations of machines and models, this change resulted in ~5% performance regression that appears to be attributable to L2 cache misses.
This change aligns all arrays in mjData to the boundary of a typical L2 cache line size. Benchmarking shows that this resolves the performance regression on a Broadwell machine.

Added analytic derivatives of smooth (unconstrained) dynamics forces, with respect to velocities:
- Centripetal and Coriolis forces computed by the Recursive Newton-Euler algorithm.
- Damping and fluid-drag passive forces.
- Actuation forces.
A new implicit-in-velocity integrator is implemented using the analytic derivatives. This integrator lies between the Euler and Runge Kutta integrators in terms of both stability and computational cost.
