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.

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.

- Added new `cable` composite type:
* The `initial` parameter specifies the joint at the starting boundary: `free`, `ball`, or `none`.
* The boundary bodies are exposed with the names:`B_left` and `B_right`.
* The vertex initial positions can be specified directly in the XML with the parameter `vertex`.
* The orientation of the body frame **is** the orientation of the material frame of the curve.
- Added new `cable` passive force plugin:
* Twist and bending stiffness can be set separately with the parameters `twist` and `bend`.
* The stress-free configuration can be set to be the initial one or flat with the flag `flat`.
* New cable example showing the formation of plectoneme.
* New coil example.
* New belt example showing interaction between twist and anisotropy.
* Added test using cantilever exact solution.

- Add private function `mj_arenaAlloc`. This is used internally to allocate memory from the arena.
- Add private function `mj_nefc` to count constraints. This function returns a tight upper bound on `d->nefc`. The number of counted constraints can be slightly bigger than exact `d->nefc` in the case of constraints with empty Jacobian, as when placing a frictional tendon between two world sites.
- Add new `memory` attribute to the `size` XML element for specification of arena memory size. This attribute is mutually exclusive with `nstack` and `njmax` specifications, which are now deprecated (but left around for the time being for legacy compatibility).
- Move `d->stack` to the end of the new arena space. The stack now grows in reverse from the end.

- 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.

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.
