Previously shell mode required cellcount=1 along at least one axis. This CL
adds support for cellcount > 1 in all three axes by pinning interior grid nodes
to the parent body and reconstructing their positions from boundary nodes via
Transfinite Interpolation (TFI).

Also add MJTOL_SCALE to fixture to allow tests to be run with zero tolerance. This is useful when assesing the impact of code changes (A/B comparison of failure values)

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).

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.

The functions and associated tests related to managing time-stamped data buffers have been renamed from `mju_delay*` to `mju_history*` to better reflect their general purpose beyond just handling delays.

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

With the new implementation, it is the following:
```
Simulation time : 1.82 s
Steps per second : 5507

- `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.
