Subject: [PATCH] refactor(materials): drop LinearElastic abstract include and
 state_type

`AbstractElasticMaterial` already comes from `materials/api.jl`, and IP state
is inferred via `required_state_variables`, so drop the stale include and
`state_type` hook.

- Remove `include(\"abstract_material.jl\")` and redundant trait comments.
- Delete `state_type(::Type{LinearElastic}) = EmptyState`.
