fem: pyramid5 element (solver, quality, decks, VTK)

A five-node pyramid, the conforming transition between a hexahedron's face
and tetrahedra: Bedrosian's rational shape functions with a collapsed (Duffy)
Gauss rule, a certified Jacobian on the base square with exact volume, a
scaled Jacobian, C3D5 / CPYRAM / LS-DYNA degenerate solid, VTK_PYRAMID and
the binary mesh code 13. A distorted hex8-pyramid5-tet4 transition mesh
passes the patch test and uniaxial tension exactly.
