/** Frame whose transform from its parent can be updated.
* This class allows to control the relative position of two parts
* of the global frames tree using any two frames in each part as
* control handles. Consider the following simplified frames tree as an
* example:
*
* GCRF
* |
* --------------------------------
* | | |
* Sun satellite Earth
* | |
* on-board antenna ground station
* |
* tracking antenna
*
* Tracking measurements really correspond to the link between the ground
* and on-board antennas. This is tightly linked to the transform between
* these two frames, however neither frame is the direct parent frame of the
* other one: the path involves four intermediate frames. When we process a
* measurement, what we really want to update is the transform that defines
* the satellite frame with respect to its parent GCRF frame.
* In order to implement the above case, the satellite frame is defined
* as an instance of this class and its {@link #updateTransform(Frame, Frame,
* Transform, AbsoluteDate) updateTransform} would be called each time we want
* to adjust the frame, i.e. each time we get a new measurement between the
* two antennas.

* --------------------------------

* tracking antenna
*
* Tracking measurements really correspond to the link between the ground
* and on-board antennas. This is tightly linked to the transform between
* these two frames, however neither frame is the direct parent frame of the
* other one: the path involves four intermediate frames. When we process a
* measurement, what we really want to update is the transform that defines
* the satellite frame with respect to its parent GCRF frame. This
* is the purpose of this method. This update is done by the following call,
* where measurementTransform represents the measurement as a
* simple translation transform between the two antenna frames:
*
* satellite.updateTransform(onBoardAntenna, trackingAntenna,
* measurementTransform, date);
*
* One way to represent the behavior of the method is to consider the
* sub-tree rooted at the instance on one hand (satellite and on-board antenna
* in the example above) and the tree containing all the other frames on the
* other hand (GCRF, Sun, Earth, ground station, tracking antenna).
* Both tree are considered as two solid sets linked together by a flexible
* spring, which is the transform we want to update. The method stretches the
* spring to make sure the transform between the two specified frames (one in
* each tree part) matches the specified transform.
* @param f1 first control frame (may be the instance itself)
* @param f2 second control frame (may be the instance itself)
* @param f1Tof2 desired transform from first to second control frame
* @param date date of the transform
