engine: rubber-seal sample, a Mooney-Rivlin gasket ring squeezed 25 %

file.sample rubber-seal: a gasket ring of hybrid hex8 elements in four
mapped quarter blocks, squeezed 2.5 mm between plates bonded to it
(nonlinear static, Mooney-Rivlin rubber). Its test frees the plates and
matches the closed form for incompressible uniaxial compression within 3 %,
and bounds the bonded ring's extra stiffness. The plates are prescribed
displacements until implicit contact (#161) can press it into a groove.

Closes #163

## Rubber seal (`rubber-seal`)
![The gasket ring squeezed 25 %, bulging outward, von Mises stress peaking at the bonded edges](media/examples/rubber-seal.png)
A rubber gasket ring (20 mm inside radius, 30 mm outside, 10 mm high) squeezed 2.5 mm (25 %)
between two plates bonded to it. Generic rubber, E = 6 MPa, ν = 0.49, Mooney–Rivlin with
C01 = 0.2 MPa; 1 000 hybrid (u–p) hex8 elements in four mapped quarter blocks. Nonlinear static
with large deformation: Newton–Raphson in nine increments, under a second.
**Look at:** the deformed shape at scale 1 — the free inner and outer walls bulge out, and
von Mises peaks (about 7 MPa) where the bulge meets the bonded plates. Results ▸ Increment steps
through the converged increments.
**Check:** the same ring between frictionless plates compresses evenly, and its force matches
the closed form for an incompressible Mooney–Rivlin solid in uniaxial compression,
P = 2 (λ − λ⁻²)(C10 + C01/λ) per original area: 3 430 N against 3 466 N (within 3 %). Bonded,
the bulge makes it stiffer (shape factor 0.5): 6 518 N, held between 1.05 and 2.5 times the
frictionless force. The groove and the plates are prescribed displacements today; with implicit
contact (#161) the ring will be pressed by contact against a groove.
