Orthographic cameras are specified by setting the `orthographic` attribute of the `<camera>` element. The `fovy` attribute is still used to specify the field-of-view, but its semantic is different for orthographic cameras. For orthographic cameras, the field-of-view is expressed in units of length, rather than degrees.
Other related changes:
* Fix bug in the ordering of `cam_xxx` elements in `mjModel`.
* Make camera visualization translucent only when the frustum is visualized.
* Added a button to `simulate` to toggle between perspective and orthographic free cameras.

That change removed some spurious contacts returned by mjc_BoxBox, but also removed some desirable contacts that occur during very deep penetration of two boxes (when one box is completely inside another box). This is now fixed.

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.

Added `option-actuatorgroupdisable` attribute and associated `mjOption.disableactuator` integer bitfield, used to disable sets of actuators at runtime according to their group.
- The first 6 actuator groups are toggleable in the `simulate` viewer.
- Minor refactor and cleanup of actuator documentation.

When filterexact is a new dyntype which is just like the existing `filter`, but the activation state is integrated with exact integration, instead of simple Euler integration.
When actearly is specified on a general actuator, `qfrc_actuator` is computed using the next timestep's `act` value, instead of the current value.

- Add `joint-actuatorforcerange` for clamping total actuator force at joints. Add `sensor-jointactuatorfrc` for sensing total actuator forces on a single joint.
See [documentation](https://mujoco.readthedocs.io/en/latest//modeling.html#actuator-force-clamping) for justification and use cases.
- Add simple car model to `model/`.
- Move actuation-related test models into `engine/testdata/actuation/`.

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.

Also:
- Renamed recently introduced `mjvPerturb` member `reflocalpos` -> `refselpos` and corrected docstring.
- Added `mjvPerturb.localmass`: body spatial inertia at selection point.
- Removed `const` qualifier to `mjData` argument of `mjv_initPerturb()`, to facilitate spatial inertia computation.
- Improved `mj_Object{Velocity, Acceleration}` docstrings, clarifying that rotational velocities precede linear velocities.
- Removed redundant const qualifiers from non pointer arguments to `mju_dot` and `mju_writeNumBytes`.

Significantly reduced joint-level damping, introduced damping in the actuators themselves. This reduces dynamics artifacts by matching the space in which damping and actuation forces are applied.

If given two non-decreasing values, `springlength` specifies a deadband for spring stiffness, inside of which the force is 0 and outside of which force behaves like a regular spring, with the setpoint corresponding to the nearest value. This can be used to create tendons whose limits are enforced by springs rather than constraints, which are cheaper and easier to analyse. See test/engine/testdata/tendon_springlength.xml example model.
Spring-limited spatial tendons whose lower range value is 0 are rendered as catenaries.
Fixes#520.

This is an amendment to 4bfc2c0311.
Add an autolimits compiler option. When true, *limited will be inferred from the presence of the *range attributes.
When false, models where limited is not specified, and range is will fail to compile.
