[ODE] Average Velocity feature and 'Disabling islands problem'

[Jaroslav Sinecky]

Opps, sorry. I have just checked the code and realized that the supposed 
problem of counting synchronization is not there.  Step/time counting 
doesn't get reset when a body gets re-enabled because being in active 
island, so it's probed for disabling in next step again and in the 
moment last body in the island reaches idle state, whole island is off. 
Or this has changed or I got it wrong some time ago.
So ... to tune autodisabling of boxstack, we're left again with tuning 
contact or some damping parameters. Also I'm sure solving the old 
correcting velocity problem would help.
