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).

Do not allow a mix of `elastic2d != none` with `dof = trilinear` since the latter assumes 3d elasticity.
Also, do not assume that `flex_interp > 0` in the engine. This will enable to use, e.g., `flex_interp = -1` to mean a linear surface finite element instead of a 3d finite element which is currently identified with `flex_interp = 1`.

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 `vertcollide` attribute in flex and flexcomp contact specifications has been removed since the next mjWarp release will support flex collisions. This attribute was previously used to enable vertex-based collisions by adding sphere geoms at flex vertices. The functionality associated with this attribute has been deprecated and removed from the XML parser, documentation, and internal data structures. Affected example XML files have also been updated.

The flex-SDF algorithm uses the same logic as mesh-SDF. Previous to this change, the flex was instead colliding with the convex hull of the mesh generated automatically with marching cubes from the SDF.

This CL rolls back the change from changelist 794576123 since the previous version was more robust and stable. Compared to the original algorithm, this changes handles degenerate and very large triangles as well.

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
Constraints per step : 3322.51
Degrees of freedom : 1536
```
With the new implementation, it is the following:
```
Simulation time : 1.82 s
Steps per second : 5507
Realtime factor : 5.51 x
Time per step : 181.6 µs
Contacts per step : 38.84
Constraints per step : 155.36
Degrees of freedom : 24

Support actdim attribute on plugin actuators.
Remove the actuator_actdim callback. This callback leads to crashes when loading keyframes for models that have a stateful plugin.
