This PR adds a new component with an example and test.
BeamProjectionDifferenceMultiMapping : This mapping takes some points and a beam as inputs, and outputs the difference between the points and their projection on the beam. The output difference is expressed in the local frame (wrt the beam), allowing the set up of constraints such as a fixing constraint (ex: attach a beam to another model) and sliding constraint (ex: constrain an object to slide on a beam).
Example of usage :
(you can also try the example examples/python3/component/BeamProjectionDifferenceMultiMapping.py)
The test has not been added to the project because it crashes. I didn't manage to debug it yet, although it was working not so long ago. I would still like to merge it to avoid losing it.
