mesh: the tet mesher takes its input in a canonical order (#115)

SolidCraft lists a solid's faces in a different order from run to run
(the rounded box, for one), which reordered the triangle soup and the
face tags with every coordinate the same; welding keeps the first copy
it meets and every later stage visits ids in order, so the tet mesh
changed between runs. CanonicalSoup sorts the triangles by their
coordinates, numbers vertices by first use and face tags by first
appearance, and maps the tags back; mesh.tet.generate and the corpus
use it.

Tests: the washer's tet10 mesh has a fixed fingerprint (identical on
arm64 and x86-64 builds); a reordered, renumbered input gives the same
mesh; heavy: rounded-box and filleted-bracket mesh bit for bit the same
on repeated runs and with 1 and 8 threads.

The bracket oracle cases stay unfrozen: SolidCraft's tessellation
itself differs in the last bits between arm64 and x86-64. The coarse
case moves to 203.6 MPa with the canonical order; its band is 5%.

 - **[explicit-sliding-block-contact](../tests/oracle/explicit-sliding-block-contact/)** (theory): Block sliding to a stop on a deformable plate, friction decaying with the slip rate (explicit contact). Source: A rigid block launched at v₀ with friction μ(v) = μk + (μs − μk) e^(−d v) decelerates at g μ(v); it travels ∫₀^v₀ v dv / (g μ(v)) (Simpson's rule, 200 000 intervals) and stops after [v₀ + ln((μk + (μs − μk) e^(−d v₀))/μs)/d]/(g μk) = 1.2001; Meriam & Kraige, Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics, §3/5; the exponential decay law as in Oden & Martins, CMAME 52:527–634, 1985. Tolerances — distance: the block bounces on the penalty springs and the plate under it shears elastically, so the normal force and the slip rate it feels vary by a little around their rigid-body values; velocity: the block sticks; what is left is its elastic vibration, under 1% of v₀

Tolerances — distance: the wall's friction impulses are exact Coulomb impulses; the block's elastic vibration from the sudden gravity and the friction moment move the node by a fraction of a percent; velocity: the block sticks; what is left is its elastic vibration, under 1% of v₀; dissipated: the kinetic energy goes into friction; the vibration and the work of gravity as the block settles add or take a fraction of a percent

Tolerances — fillet_peak: the four-level study gives 213.3, 210.6, 214.3, 213.3 MPa (2k to 13.5k elements): the bending stress is converged across the fillet, and the peak nodal value moves only with which of the fillet's tessellation lines (fixed angles, through every level) carries the largest node, by under 2%; reaction: equilibrium holds to rounding

Prager, Ing.-Arch. 1955; Simo and Hughes, Computational Inelasticity, Springer 1998, §2.3): from σ_a = σ_y + E_t (ε_a − σ_y/E) the material unloads elastically by 2σ_y and then hardens with E_t, so at zero strain σ = σ_a − 2σ_y − E_t (ε_a − 2σ_y/E). Tolerances — residual_stress: a homogeneous small-strain state the element represents exactly, with increments that end at the load path's turn; isotropic hardening would give −281.835 (it yields again only at −σ_a); plastic_strain: (σ_a − σ_y)/H forward plus E/(E + H) (ε_a − 2σ_y/E) in reverse
