Yuval Tassa 4787c8094c Add geom surfacevel: zero-dof conveyors, treadmills and turntables.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdSdrqhSiZA

The new geom attribute surfacevel (6 numbers: linear and angular velocity in the geom's local frame, angular about the geom frame origin) specifies the velocity of the geom's surface material relative to the geom frame. The relative surface velocity of the two geoms is added to the tangential contact rows of efc_vel in mj_referenceConstraint, so friction drives touching bodies toward the motion of the surface: objects on a conveyor are transported at belt speed, turntables impart omega x r with torsional spin-up for condim >= 4, and surface velocities compose with each other and with body motion. The component along the contact normal is projected out: probe experiments showed that velocity-space emission chatters mass-independently and ingestion merely deepens penetration; normal-direction effects belong to force-space features.

surfacevel is interpreted in the geom frame as authored: for mesh geoms, whose compiled frame absorbs the mesh centering and principal-axes transform, the compiler re-expresses the authored value in the compiled frame.

No special interaction with sleeping: objects being transported do not fall asleep because they are moving; objects at rest on an active surface may sleep like any other resting object.

Includes showcase models (model/surfacevel/): a luggage carousel whose ring is a spinning square-profile supertorus fed by a cascade of belts with matched spinning end rollers, bags dropping in and circulating indefinitely; and a treadmill with a passive humanoid.

Yuval Tassa 410c73168c Add policies for global attribute conflict resolution upon attach
For example when loading parent_merge.xml:

```
WARNING: Attach conflict when attaching 'child' to 'parent_merge', policy is 'merge'
timestep: parent has 0.005, child has 0.002, taking the minimum
iterations: parent has 50, child has 100, taking the maximum
flag 'Damper': added from child
```

When loading parent_error.xml:

```
XML Error: Attach conflict when attaching 'child' to 'parent_error', policy is 'error'
timestep: parent has 0.005, child has 0.002
iterations: parent has 50, child has 100
Element 'attach', line 10
```
