Muscles (GeometryPaths) need end-caps

[aseth1]

Currently GeometryPaths are drawn as smooth tubes, but they are open. They should be capped either by a sphere at each end or by tapering the skinned mesh.

Here is an example of what it looks like:

@tkuchida in a brief discussion with @aymanhab he mentioned preferring not to introduce additional geometry (i.e. spheres) and use the skinning of the cylinders to create a taper at each end.

Sounds fine. I just don't think users should be able to see the inside of the muscle cylinder; how that's implemented isn't as important.
