These functions names and argument ordering are more consistent with the rest of the API.

That change removed some spurious contacts returned by mjc_BoxBox, but also removed some desirable contacts that occur during very deep penetration of two boxes (when one box is completely inside another box). This is now fixed.

The box-box collider sometimes outputs bad contact points which are far outside one of the two boxes. This happens at configurations which are very rare numerically, but rare configurations (e.g. perfect box alignment) are often induced by the designer and the physics, making them actually not-so-rare.
Since the box collision functions are very difficult to understand, we circumvent the issue by extending the post processing code to detect and remove such contacts.

- `muscle` actuators take a new `tausmooth` attribute (defaults to 0) which when positive, smooths the transition between activation and deactivation timescales.
- `mju_muscleDynamics` takes 3 parameters, adding width of smoothing sigmoid.

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`.

- 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.

- 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`.

Change-Id: Ifbf974f9c02c3d70afdaa3114018fc81dfd746d3
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.
