model: nonlinear static steps and neo-Hookean hyperelasticity, mapped by the deck writers

A nonlinear_static procedure (nonlinear geometry, initial/min/max increments,
increment and iteration caps, force/displacement/energy tolerances, line
search), validated with caps against hostile values. Materials gain an
explicit hyperelastic option (decoupled compressible neo-Hookean on the
isotropic constants). Abaqus writes *STEP, NLGEOM, INC / *STATIC with the
increments and *HYPERELASTIC, NEO HOOKE; LS-DYNA writes the ramped implicit
run with full Newton and *CONTROL_IMPLICIT_AUTO; Nastran refuses SOL 400 by
name, as LS-DYNA does hyperelastic materials in nonlinear steps. Explicit
dynamics refuses hyperelastic materials by name; solve.run names the solver
still to come.
