Agility redesigns Digit 5 leg for low squatting and heavy lifting

For years, Digit had a bird-like stance, tuned for efficient, dynamic motion. Digit 5 is being engineered with a redesigned leg for the other half of real work: squatting low and lifting heavy, the way a person does when the load's on the floor.

Thanks to @bheater and @a3automate for the coverage.
