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%).

## Hyperelastic materials in explicit dynamics
Hyperelastic materials (neo-Hookean, Mooney–Rivlin, Yeoh) use the shared finite-strain material
point (`fieldcraft_fem::constitutive`) in explicit dynamics too, in total form, which is objective
by construction (no stress rate): the one-point hexahedron takes F = I + ∂u/∂X, its mean over the
undeformed element, and the Cauchy stress of the nodal forces τ/J; the tetrahedron takes the
isochoric stress of its own F and the **average nodal pressure** of a decoupled material (each
node's U′(J_a) from its tetrahedra's volume ratio, the element's the mean of its nodes': J. Bonet,
A. J. Burton, Commun. Numer. Methods Eng. 14:437–449, 1998, at finite strain), which does not lock
when the material is nearly incompressible. (Averaging J into an F-bar instead was unstable on
the Kuhn mesh of the tests.) The stable increment follows the tangent: each element's frequency
bound is scaled by the ratio of its tangent's largest normal stiffness, plus the stress, to the
small-strain one. Logarithmic strain is the strain output. Hyperelastic elements need nonlinear
geometry and take no thermal strain yet (both refused by name). Verified by uniaxial strain to
λ = 1.5 of all three laws on hex8 and tet4 against the material point (`crates/explicit/tests/hyperelastic.rs`)
and by `tests/oracle/explicit-neo-hookean-implicit`, a quasi-static explicit pull against the
implicit nonlinear solver.
