Engine: model.boundary_condition.symmetry on a datum plane

A symmetry condition (zero normal displacement, zero rotation about the
in-plane axes) on a datum plane normal to X, Y or Z, with its set given or made
of the open design's faces on the plane (a partition's cut faces), so half a
symmetric part is solved as a half. Half a 40 mm bar cut at its mid-width, with
the condition and half the load, bends as the whole bar to 2e-12 with half the
reaction. Inclined planes are refused as not supported yet.
