This PR adds force sensors to fruitfly_v2 walker's wings to approximate wing load sensors of the real fruit fly.

Do you want force sensors or torque sensors?
The latter makes more sense to me.

Also, note this recommendation from the documentation

Using this sensor often requires creating a dummy body welded to its parent (i.e., having no joint elements).

Usually when using force or torque sensors on jointed bodies you get unexpected values. I recommend introducing a dummy static body at the joint root (child of the thorax), attaching the sensor to this body, and making the wing a child of this body.
