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.

- Memory heuristic rounds up to the nearest MB.
- `simulate` reports total memory currently allocated in the info box.
- All example models use `<size memory/>` rather than legacy attributes.
- Regenerated `example_saved.xml` and reformatted original model in [overview chapter](https://mujoco.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview.html?#examples).
- `<size>` top-level section does not get written if empty.

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.

- Added `refsite` attribute to actuators with `site` transmission.
- Such actuators now have a well defined length and can be used for e.g., Cartesian end-effector control.
- Added example models and documentation describing the new feature.

- 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.
