- Added new `cable` composite type:
* The `initial` parameter specifies the joint at the starting boundary: `free`, `ball`, or `none`.
* The boundary bodies are exposed with the names:`B_left` and `B_right`.
* The vertex initial positions can be specified directly in the XML with the parameter `vertex`.
* The orientation of the body frame **is** the orientation of the material frame of the curve.
- Added new `cable` passive force plugin:
* Twist and bending stiffness can be set separately with the parameters `twist` and `bend`.
* The stress-free configuration can be set to be the initial one or flat with the flag `flat`.
* New cable example showing the formation of plectoneme.
* New coil example.
* New belt example showing interaction between twist and anisotropy.
* Added test using cantilever exact solution.
