In CorotationalFEMForceField, the current tangent stiffness does not include the derivatives of the estimated rotation matrix. So this PR adds them (only for the polar method; the rest could follow in future PRs).

Set to WIP because of pending PRs: #6423 to exclude the addKToMatrix test and #6421 for correct polar decomposition.

I'll add the derivation in a separate doc. One example below:
