Mesh area conservation

[SchoeniPhlippsn]

Description

This adds two area constraint potentials which can be applied to the mesh data structure.

Motivation and context

These area constraints allow applying a global target area per mesh type or a local target area per mesh triangle to membranes represented by a particle mesh.

How has this been tested?

I added pytests and used this potential in my current studies.
