Hybrid (mixed u–p) solids: hex8 and tet10 with a constant pressure, hex20 with a linear one (#49)

The isotropic elasticity splits into D_dev + K m mᵀ; an element-wise
discontinuous pressure is condensed out (p̂ = K M⁻¹ Gᵀ u), leaving
K_dev + K G M⁻¹ Gᵀ (Hughes §4.3–4.5). Q2–P1disc and P2–P0 are inf-sup
stable; Q1–P0 does not lock; tet4 and wedge6 still lock and are refused, as
are orthotropic materials (named at the section). ElementDofs counts the
condensed pressures. Verified: element patch, rigid modes and totals for
every hybrid kind, a block in uniaxial strain at ν = 0.4999 (exact), Lamé's
cylinder in plane strain at ν = 0.4999 (hex20 1e-5, tet10 1.3e-3, hex8
2.5e-3 vs the locking displacement hex8 at −80 %). Every non-hybrid result
of the test suites hashes identically before and after.
