explicit: hyperelastic materials on the shared finite-strain material point

Neo-Hookean, Mooney–Rivlin and Yeoh materials in explicit dynamics, in
total form from the deformation gradient (objective by construction):
the one-point hex8 takes its mean F over the undeformed element and the
stress τ/J; tet4 takes the isochoric stress of its own F with the
average nodal pressure of the decoupled volumetric energy (Bonet–Burton
at finite strain). Each element's frequency bound follows the tangent's
largest normal stiffness. Small-displacement steps and thermal strain of
hyperelastic elements are refused by name.

Verified by uniaxial strain to λ = 1.5 of all three laws on hex8 and
tet4 against the material point (to rounding), and the oracle case
explicit-neo-hookean-implicit: a quasi-static explicit pull against the
implicit nonlinear solver (lateral contraction to 0.09%, stress to 0.03%).
