FEM foundation B: heat transfer and thermal stress (solids, 2D, explicit), coupled temperature–displacement, solve.heat (#45)

* Heat transfer and thermal stress: thermal materials, temperature BCs, heat loads, heat transfer and coupled temperature–displacement steps, solve.heat

Model: Material.thermal (conductivity, specific heat, expansion, isotropic or
per axis; reference temperature), BoundaryCondition::Temperature (dof 11),
loads SurfaceFlux, Convection, HeatSource and Temperature (a field in static
steps), procedures HeatTransfer { transient (θ-method) } and
CoupledTemperatureDisplacement; checks for missing conductivity/specific
heat/expansion. fem: heat conduction kernels (conductivity, capacity,
source, face flux/film, heat flux) on the DofLayout (one T per node), thermal
strain load and stress D(ε − ε_th) for every solid formulation incl.
incompatible modes. Solver: steady and transient heat transfer, thermal loads
in static steps, coupled steps (exact one-way coupling). Engine: solve.heat,
temperature/heat-flux result fields, probes. Decks refuse heat transfer by
name. Analytic verification: slab, source+convection/flux, thick cylinder,
erfc semi-infinite solid, free/constrained expansion, bimetal strip, coupled
step.

* thermal: strains in 2D elements and explicit dynamics

Plane::thermal_load and stresses_with for plane stress (εzz free), plane
strain (σzz = −D₃·ε_th) and axisymmetric elements, incompatible modes
included; the solver's 2D kernels take them. Explicit dynamics turns a
step's temperature loads into a per-element thermal strain rate (reached
linearly over the step) subtracted from each strain increment, so it feeds
J2 and Johnson–Cook updates. Verified: free expansion in every 2D theory
and element, a biaxially held plate, an explicit free bar (ΔL = αΔT L,
stress-free) and a clamped bar at −EαΔT, capped at the yield stress with
perfect plasticity.

* thermal: trusses take the axial thermal strain; keep the roadmap's M7 line

Truss::thermal_load and stresses_with project the thermal strain on the
member's tangent (Σ αₖ tₖ² ΔT); the static solver applies them to rod2/rod3
(#38). Explicit trusses take none yet and a warning says so.
