Alessio Quaglino a891782553 Clean-up flex assumptions.
Do not allow a mix of `elastic2d != none` with `dof = trilinear` since the latter assumes 3d elasticity.

Also, do not assume that `flex_interp > 0` in the engine. This will enable to use, e.g., `flex_interp = -1` to mean a linear surface finite element instead of a 3d finite element which is currently identified with `flex_interp = 1`.

Alessio Quaglino 7cdf180641 Introduce trilinear flex parametrization.
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
 Constraints per step : 155.36
 Degrees of freedom   : 24
```
