1. Create an arena for the mjData instance used by the passive viewer visualization.
When using the passive viewer, stuff gets copied from the real mjData into a minimal struct.
That struct didn't have a stack, and now visualization for Flex does stack allocs.
2. Add missing a missing field in scene state for flex visualization.
3. Fix a memory leak where mjvScene wasn't released on exit in the passive viewer.
4. Add some locks in places where the render thread and Simulate::Sync collide.
This fixes#1280.

The box-box collider sometimes outputs bad contact points which are far outside one of the two boxes. This happens at configurations which are very rare numerically, but rare configurations (e.g. perfect box alignment) are often induced by the designer and the physics, making them actually not-so-rare.
Since the box collision functions are very difficult to understand, we circumvent the issue by extending the post processing code to detect and remove such contacts.

This change also requires user scripts to explicitly synchronize changes to physics state to the viewer. The Simulate class was reconfigured so that certain UI events are handled during this sync operation, outside of the render loop on the main thread. These correspond to operations that require access to the full mjModel/mjData.
To support other, more interactive operations (e.g. camera movements), a new mjvSceneState struct is introduced which captures only the portion of the physics state required for scene re-rendering. The mjvSceneState is updated from mjModel/mjData during the viewer sync operation, and is significantly cheaper than a full mj_copyModel and mj_copyData.

A resource provider provides a mechanism for MuJoCo to read from filesystems other than the OS filesystem or the Virtual File System (VFS).

When using MSAN, mjData->buffer is marked as poisoned, despite being initialized with zeroes.
This is useful for catching computations that accidentally use uninitialized values.
However, when using engine_print, it's OK to assume the buffer is initialized to zeros.

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.
