Ensuring symmetric in Vxx, this is needed because numerial error

Carlos Mastalli requested to merge cmastall/crocoddyl:topic/vxx-symmetry-bug into devel

Inspeting the memory warm-starting issue (see https://gepgitlab.laas.fr/memmo/memory-to-crocoddyl/issues/1) I realized that the reason the backward pass was failing. The main reason was having non-invertible \mathbf{Q_{uu}} matrix. And this was produced because numerical errors were producing non-symmetric \mathbf{V_{xx}}.

So, I applied a simple rule of thumb to ensure symmetric in this PR. With this changes, we're able to solve the warm-starting problem (with long double support duration) in 6 iterations. This is the log file for that problem:
