SCG does support sphere-facet, although by replacing the facet by a
fictious sphere. The functor is in
InteractingFacet2InteractingSphere4SpheresContactGeometry (soon, it will
be called Ig2_Facet_Sphere_ScGeom)

Yes, exactly, for the basic elastic law. There are other laws (like for
ConcretePM or for RockPM) as well.

(Again, the ef2_Spheres_Elastic_Elastic will soon become
Law_ScGeom_Elasic_Elastic or such; but it will not break your scripts,
no worry, these changes are backwards-compatible at python level).
