AdaptiveMateConnector

AdaptiveMateConnector is MateConnector:
    .doc: """
    
    When using one AdaptiveMateConnector in a mate, 
    it will transform to the relative position of the owning body/system so that it aligns with the other mate connector.
    There can't be any degrees of freedom left between the MateConnectors, meaning that SNAP has done the work already. 
    This feature can be used to introduce interactions in a non-violated state, without having to specify 
    initial conditions for all 6 degrees of freedom for two mate connectors.
    For example, a mate connector for the suspension that is defined given the chassis of the car may mate with the 
    other parts, and just adapt to how these are placed relative the chassis.
