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
```

That change removed some spurious contacts returned by mjc_BoxBox, but also removed some desirable contacts that occur during very deep penetration of two boxes (when one box is completely inside another box). This is now fixed.

The box-box collider sometimes outputs bad contact points which are far outside one of the two boxes. This happens at configurations which are very rare numerically, but rare configurations (e.g. perfect box alignment) are often induced by the designer and the physics, making them actually not-so-rare.
Since the box collision functions are very difficult to understand, we circumvent the issue by extending the post processing code to detect and remove such contacts.

- `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.

Also:
- Renamed recently introduced `mjvPerturb` member `reflocalpos` -> `refselpos` and corrected docstring.
- Added `mjvPerturb.localmass`: body spatial inertia at selection point.
- Removed `const` qualifier to `mjData` argument of `mjv_initPerturb()`, to facilitate spatial inertia computation.
- Improved `mj_Object{Velocity, Acceleration}` docstrings, clarifying that rotational velocities precede linear velocities.
- Removed redundant const qualifiers from non pointer arguments to `mju_dot` and `mju_writeNumBytes`.

- Never modify `d->ctrl`:
- `ctrl` values which are outside their respective `ctrlrange` are clamped internally, but `d->ctrl` itself is unmodified.
- Similarly, if `mjWARN_BADCTRL` is raised (NaNs or huge values), `ctrl` is cleared internally, but `d->ctrl` itself is unmodified.
- `mjWARN_BADCTRL` is no longer raised for `d->ctrl` values that are larger in absolute value than `mjMAXVAL`, if clamping makes them smaller than that.
- Added `mju_clip()` utility function.
- Added missing warning string for `case mjWARN_BADCTRL`.
