This gives a 3x speedup in implicitfast.
Also cleanup old code that was used in the dense factorization of the stiffness matrix before we switched to CG.

The flex interp stiffness matrix is Negative Semi-Definite (NSD). When forming the RHS for implicit integration, the term involving the velocity and stiffness should be added, not subtracted. A new test is added to ensure energy stability for flex interp stretch stiffness with the implicitfast integrator.

Standard flex (flex_interp=0) with thin-plate bending treated bending forces purely explicitly. This caused contact-induced vertex vibrations and non-physical energy injection for flat resting sheets, because the solver treated each vertex as an independent mass during contact and contact normals are orthogonal to stretch constraints.
Fix: extend the existing preconditioned CG solver to include the constant bending stiffness K_bend in the implicit operator via matrix-free mat-vec.

This change introduces a `flex_cellcount` field to `mjModel` to specify the number of cells in each dimension for interpolated flexes. The stiffness computation, passive force calculation, and Jacobian derivatives are updated to operate on a per-cell basis, significantly improving performance by localizing computations to the nodes within each cell.

- Remove `lugre:viscous`, should now be added directly to actuator `damping`. Trying to do this for the user was incompatible with default inheritance (compounding instead of overriding).
- Move voltage limiting from the `saturation` to the `controller` attribute.
- Fix indexing issues in default inheritance.

The reduced dense factorization for flex interpolation now considers all DOFs in the kinematic chain of the body containing the flex, using mj_bodyChain, instead of only the DOFs directly associated with that body. This is necessary for correctly handling pinned flexes when their parent body is part of a larger kinematic structure.

The implicit integrator was not correctly accounting for the off-diagonal coupling terms between flex and non-flex (parent) degrees of freedom in the mass matrix. This change extracts these coupling terms during the factorization step and applies a correction to the flex forces before solving for the flex accelerations, ensuring that the parent accelerations influence the flex dynamics. A new test verifies that the implicit integrator now matches Euler for small timesteps in a model with flex-parent coupling.

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.

Renamed `mjModel.eq_active` to `mjModel.eq_active0`, which now has the semantic of "initial value of `mjData.eq_active`".

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/`.

- Never modify `d->ctrl`:
- `ctrl` values which are outside their respective `ctrlrange` are clamped internally, but `d->ctrl` itself is unmodified.
- Similarly, if `mjWARN_BADCTRL` is raised (NaNs or huge values), `ctrl` is cleared internally, but `d->ctrl` itself is unmodified.
- `mjWARN_BADCTRL` is no longer raised for `d->ctrl` values that are larger in absolute value than `mjMAXVAL`, if clamping makes them smaller than that.
- Added `mju_clip()` utility function.
- Added missing warning string for `case mjWARN_BADCTRL`.

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.
