This change introduces an optimization for flexcomp objects defined by a mesh. It identifies grid cells that do not contain any mesh vertices and marks them as empty. Nodes that are exclusively part of empty cells are pinned, preventing them from moving. Stiffness computations are skipped for empty cells, reducing computational cost. The total mass is now distributed only among the non-pinned nodes.

This change introduces a `flex_cellcount` field to `mjModel` to specify the number of cells in each dimension for interpolated flexes. The stiffness computation, passive force calculation, and Jacobian derivatives are updated to operate on a per-cell basis, significantly improving performance by localizing computations to the nodes within each cell.

These flexes use only 24 DOFs (3 per vertex of the bounding box), while colliding with the full high resolution mesh.
On an 8x8x8 cube, the performance using DOFs at all vertices is
```
Simulation time : 18.74 s
Steps per second : 533
Realtime factor : 0.53 x
Time per step : 1874.4 µs
Contacts per step : 114.88
Constraints per step : 3322.51
Degrees of freedom : 1536
```
With the new implementation, it is the following:
```
Simulation time : 1.82 s
Steps per second : 5507
Realtime factor : 5.51 x
Time per step : 181.6 µs
Contacts per step : 38.84
Constraints per step : 155.36
Degrees of freedom : 24

Note:
- Move compiler options into `mjsCompiler` struct.
- The compiler options from the attached model are not written by mj_SaveXML.

Now we can load flex with format 2.2 binary and ASCII.
There are two different parsing strategies. One for gmsh app and the other is for ftetwild.
