Alternate algorithm for fixing avatar capsule tilt (Mantis #2905) 

Eliminate dynamic capsule wobble. Instead introduce a small, fixed
tilt, and allow the tilt to rotate with the avatar while moving; the
tilt always faces away from the direction of avatar movement. The
rotation while moving should eliminate direction-dependent behavior
(e.g. only being able to climb on top of prims from certain directions).

Falling animation is still too frequently invoked.

Ideally the tilt should be completely eliminated, but doing so
currently causes the avatar to fall through the terrain.

#region Documentation of capsule motor StopERP and StopCFM parameters
// In addition to the above tilt, we allow a dynamic tilt, or
// wobble, to emerge as the capsule is pushed around the environment.
// We do this with an experimentally determined combination of
// StopERP and StopCFM which make the above motor stops soft.
// The softness of the stops should be tweaked according to two
// requirements:
//
// 1. Motor stops should be weak enough to allow enough wobble such
// that the capsule can tilt slightly more when moving, to allow
// "gliding" over obstacles:
//
//
// .-.
// / /
// / /
// _ / / _
// / \ .-. / / / \
// | | ----> / / / / | |
// | | / / `-' | |
// | | / / +------+ | |
// | | / / | | | |
// | | / / | | | |
// \_/ `-' +------+ \_/
// ----------------------------------------------------------
//
// Note that requirement 1 is made complicated by the ever-present
// slight avatar tilt (assigned in the above code to prevent avatar
// from falling through terrain), which introduces a direction-dependent
// bias into the wobble (wobbling against the existing tilt is harder
// than wobbling with the tilt), which makes it easier to walk over
// prims from some directions. I have tried to minimize this effect by
// minimizing the avatar tilt to the minimum that prevents the avatar from
// falling through the terrain.
//
// 2. Motor stops should be strong enough to prevent the capsule
// from being forced all the way to the ground; otherwise the
// capsule could slip underneath obstacles like this:
// _ _
// / \ +------+ / \
// | | ----> | | | |
// | | | | | |
// | | .--.___ +------+ | |
// | | `--.__`--.__ | |
// | | `--.__`--. | |
// \_/ `--' \_/
// ----------------------------------------------------------
//
//
// It is strongly recommended you enable USE_DRAWSTUFF if you want to
// tweak these values, to see how the capsule is reacting in various
// situations.
