Alessio Quaglino b9c1877ecb Project out rigid body modes from flex strain equality constraints.
Modify EigendecomposeStiffness to project out rigid body translations and rotations from the stiffness matrix eigenvectors. This prevents "ghost damping" from rigid body modes being incorrectly constrained. Update hollow_vs_solid.xml with solimp parameters for edge constraints. Adjust engine_core_constraint_test.cc to reflect the reduced number of equality constraints due to the projection.

Alessio Quaglino 9c6a4f76eb Add 2D membrane elasticity for interpolated flex shell mode
When elastic2d="stretch" is set on an interpolated flexcomp, treat the bounding box boundary as membrane elements rather than volumetric cells. This computes plane-stress stiffness over the boundary faces and updates the runtime force/derivative kernels accordingly.

Interior vertex tracking (moving vertices that follow the deforming shell) is not yet implemented so all mesh vertices need to be on the bounding box surface or the background grid should have no interior nodes (i.e. cellcount should be 1 on at least one axis).
