Document OpenMM as a simulation engine for metatomic models, using OpenMM-ML.

The engine page covers two routes: MLPotential("ase") plus
MetatomicCalculator (correctness path, including CUDA neighbor lists), and
the native MLPotential("metatomic") backend (energy and conservative
forces, NVT/NVE only). A standalone script lives in examples/openmm/1-md.py
and is not run by sphinx-gallery, so the docs build does not need OpenMM.

This docs PR assumes the matching OpenMM-ML MLPotential("metatomic")
backend.

The ML region is an isolated molecule, and the native backend builds lists with vesin.
