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 provides a reduction from 26 to 18 constraints for trilinear and from 162 to 75 for quadratic. The assembly of the constraints becomes trivial. In total the speedup for a trilinear 3x3x3 grid is about 3x.

Each mjEQ_FLEXSTRAIN equality now represents a single cell within a flex. This allows for more efficient sparse Jacobian computation by only considering the degrees of freedom of the nodes within each specific cell. This change gives a speedup of about 10x on a 3x3x3 model.

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.

The `vertcollide` attribute in flex and flexcomp contact specifications has been removed since the next mjWarp release will support flex collisions. This attribute was previously used to enable vertex-based collisions by adding sphere geoms at flex vertices. The functionality associated with this attribute has been deprecated and removed from the XML parser, documentation, and internal data structures. Affected example XML files have also been updated.

Fix a crash and dimension mismatch issue in user_flexcomp when dealing with interpolated="true" meshes that contain unused vertices. Previously, vertbody would correspond only to used vertices while vert included all vertices, leading to assertions or out-of-bounds access. Also enable node pinning for interpolated meshes.

For backwards compatibility in the Python bindings, both `spec.compiler.meshdir` and `spec.meshdir` are now allowed.
Fixes#2834.

The signature now contains the necessary information to safely perform `bind`. The private UIDs are now removed.
Fixes an issue of changing signature when compiling a copy of an mjSpec.

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

The `extension` section used to discard the plugin name and write the instance name in `plugin.name`, while all of the other sections wrote the instance name in `plugin.instance_name` and optionally the plugin name in `plugin.name` (via the function `OnePlugin`). Now all plugin names are in `plugin.plugin_name` and the instance is written in `plugin.name`, so that it is possible to lookup a plugin via its unique instance name.
