Avatar physics update
A significant and much needed cleanup of the avatar physics code. It resolves numerous issue with and greatly simplifies the physx character controller implementation.
While there is still room for improvement, this is a good starting point.
Avatars now jump consistently, regardless of cpu speed. Fixes unexpected camera transitions with entering/exiting some subworlds. (Teledahn elevator) Fixes a jitter in animated subworlds. (Er'cana harvester) Dynamic controllers are correctly positioned on the ground. (Jalak) Much improved interaction with dynamic physicals.
Other physics related issues may or may not be addressed.
plMovementStrategy classes have been reworked and completely replace all plAvatarControllers.
While based on the old implementation, plPhysicalControllerCore has essentially been rewritten.
Remnants of long gone physical "actions" have been removed.
4 files removed -
plAVCallbackAction.h & plAVCallbackAction.cpp
plAntiGravAction.h & plAntiGravAction.cpp
This revision will not compile, requires new plPXPhysicalControllerCore implementation.
Fix Landing Behaviors
How to Verify: The avatar should now land on the ground from jumps as in PotS. Therefore, standing jumps produce a full landing, downhill jumps produce a blended landing based on how far down the avatar fell, and uphill jumps produce no landing.
The meat comes from the following H-uru/Plasma commits by Branan and Zrax, but I?m not going to replicate that spaghetti history here:

STL fixes needed to link from StartUp to Personal
The bounds type test was performed on stale bounding data from the previous
frame resulting in the avatar being drawn without textures for a frame after
switching from 1st to 3rd person camera.
