	)

Constrain the distance between a point P attached to frame_point (denoted as B1) and the line L attached to frame_line (denoted as B2) is within the range [distance_lower, distance_upper].

Mathematically, we impose the constraint distance_lower² <= distance(P, L)² <= distance_upper². We impose the constraint on the distance square instead of distance directly, because the gradient of distance is not well defined at distance=0; on the other hand, the gradient of the distance square is well defined everywhere.

We parameterize the line using a point Q on the line, and a directional vector n along the line.

Parameters

plant	The MultibodyPlant on which the constraint is imposed. `plant` must be alive during the lifetime of this constraint.
frame_point	The frame B1 to which the point P is attached.
p_B1P	The position of point P measured and expressed in B1.
frame_line	The frame B2 to which the line is attached.
p_B2Q	Q is a point on the line, p_B2Q is the position of this point Q measured and expressed in B2.
n_B2	n is the directional vector of the line, n_B2 is this vector measured and expressed in B2.
distance_lower	The lower bound on the distance, must be non-negative.
distance_upper	The upper bound on the distance, must be non-negative.
plant_context	The Context that has been allocated for this `plant`. We will update the context when evaluating the constraint. `plant_context` must be alive during the lifetime of this constraint.

Overloaded constructor.

Same as the constructor with the double version (using MultibodyPlant<double> and Context<double>), except the gradient of the constraint is computed from autodiff.
