The stall torque, stall current, and free current are now multiplied by
the number of motors instead of just the stall torque. This produces the
same values for Kt and Kv regardless of the number of motors; the motor
resistance still affects the system response.
For an elevator model, the response should be the same as before since a
factor of "number of motors" shows up in the same place in the
acceleration calculation, but the current calculation will also be
correct now.
This address some problems with the LinearSystemLoop class that were discovered through testing.
The initial state estimate of the observer was set to the provided initial state rather than zero as previously, a non zero initial state passed into reset() would lead to a discrepancy between the current state estimate and the actual system state.
This includes physics simulation support for arms/elevator models, as well as differential drivetrains.
Swerve might be added at a later date.

This helps reduce compilation overhead. I tried slimming down includes
of <Eigen/QR>, but the householderQr() function we use from there
requires including dependency headers from Eigen that don't fit with
lexographic ordering. It didn't seem worth the effort to work around.
This won't affect user code at all since all the Eigen feature usage
here is internal only; users generally only need <Eigen/Core>.
