Yuval Tassa 790f8fac30 Generate the MJCF grammar table and enforce its constraints.
The hand-written MJCF[] table in xml_native_reader.cc is replaced by
mjcf_table.inc, emitted from mjcf.schema by generate_mjcf_table.py and
checked for freshness by doc_test. nMJCF is now self-sizing. The two
tables are identical as trees of (tag, cardinality, attribute-set);
within-row attribute order changes where the schema factors shared
groups and projects default-context rows, and top-level rows follow
the schema's dependency order -- neither affects validation, which is
set-based, nor XMLschema.rst, whose generator orders sections itself
(regenerated here, reading the .inc instead of the reader source).

The schema's constraint declarations become enforcement: the emitter
writes a companion MJCF_constraints[] array (row-indexed into MJCF[]),
and mjXSchema::Check evaluates each element's constraints after its
attribute check, with uniform messages derived from the declaration:
"at most one of 'fovy', 'sensorsize' can be specified", "attributes
'reftype', 'refname' must be specified together", and so on.
Multi-attribute bundles render as ('site1', 'site2').

Fifteen hand-written co-occurrence checks across fourteen elements are
deleted -- connect/weld semantics mixing and completeness, the actuator
transmission mutex, camera fovy/sensorsize, light directional/type,
inertial fullinertia-versus-orientation, rangefinder and the distance
family, contact's matching criteria, user-sensor pairing, the frame
family's reftype/refname, size memory exclusivities, mesh builtin
exclusions, and attach body/frame (newly declared). Tests assert the
uniform messages.

Two findings along the way: sensorsize-requires-resolution is a
value-level compiler rule (positive resolution), not a presence rule --
a presence constraint would be wrong and is not declared; and Size()'s
nstack/njmax range checks tested the spec value before assignment, so
they never validated the parsed value -- now they do.

Verified by compiling all 81 models in the model/ corpus.

Yuval Tassa 3f8db4c17a Add mjcf.schema and its declarative schema language.
The complete MJCF surface in one hand-maintained file: 144 elements, 8
shared attribute groups, 47 enums, 1,497 typed attributes with
defaults, the presence-constraint inventory previously visible only as
hand-written reader checks, and the save policies previously visible
only as hand-written writer logic.

The language is a small IDL: elements bound to their mjSpec structs,
typed attributes with arities and defaults, enum keyword sets with C
bindings, reusable and variant groups, explicit name/reference
namespaces (id<ns>/ref<ns>, following dm_control's
identifier/reference model), child cardinalities, presence constraints
(exclusive/together/requires/oneof over attribute bundles), bitwise
flag sets, identity constants (set field = CONST), fixed char arrays
(chars[n], arity counting characters), numeric range facets, and two
escape hatches: reading=custom (no typed binding is generated; both
reading and saving are hand-written) and writing=custom (the binding
drives the reader, the save policy is hand-written).
doc/generate/mjcf_schema.py is the dependency-free parser and semantic
validator; errors report file:line; 55 unit tests. The language is
documented by the cheat-sheet legend at the top of the schema file.

The schema was bootstrapped by extraction from the sources of record --
the MJCF[] table, the mjMap keyword tables, the ~660 ReadAttr*/MapValue
call sites, mjspec.h struct fields, and the default-constructors in
user_init.c and engine_init.c -- then hand-curated. Same-tag elements
that differ by context are distinct declarations carrying an xml=
facet; worldbody, frame and replicate carry alias=body, mirroring
mjXSchema::NameMatch. The top-level order is by dependency, what a
saved file should read like: front matter, declarations before use,
the tree, the sections that reference it, the data tail.
