Extract faces directly from btConvexHullComputer (in initializePolyhedralFeatures), instead of reconstructing them, thanks to Josh Klint in #1654
PyBullet: use initializePolyhedralFeatures for convex hulls and boxes (to allow SAT)
PyBullet: expose setPhysicsEngineParameter(enableSAT=0 or 1) to enable Separating Axis Test based collision detection for convex vs convex/box and convex versus concave triangles (in a triangle mesh).
b3CreateInProcessPhysicsServerFromExistingExampleBrowserAndConnect3 is the new one,
b3CreateInProcessPhysicsServerFromExistingExampleBrowserAndConnect2 old
Split examples/SharedMemory/b3RobotSimulatorClientAPI_NoGUI.* and move to examples/SharedMemory/b3RobotSimulatorClientAPI_NoGUI.cpp and examples/SharedMemory/b3RobotSimulatorClientAPI_NoDirect.cpp
Adds unit test for the UserData functons.
Changes the char pointer in btHashString to std::string. There were
problems where the object owning the string memory would deallocate the
string, making the btHashString object invalid.
allow to provide current joint positions in IK, overriding the body joint positions, also IK target will be in local coordinates.
expose b3ComputeDofCount in C-API
See https://github.com/erwincoumans/pybullet_robots ANYmal.py for an example.
PyBullet: Expose p.setPhysicsEngineParameter(solverResidualThreshold=1e-2) (b3PhysicsParamSetSolverResidualThreshold), increases solver performance a lot
PyBullet: Expose p.setPhysicsEngineParameter(contactSlop) Set it to zero, to avoid issues with restitution.
PyBullet: Expose isNumpyEnabled, return True is PyBullet was compiled with NUMPY support for 'getCameraImage'.
PyBullet: Expose p.ChangeDynamics(objectUid, linkIndex, contactProcessingThreshold), to avoid issues of speculative/predictive contacts with restitution.

use p.JOINT_FEEDBACK_IN_JOINT_FRAME if you want the joint feedback expressed in joint frame (instead of link inertial frame)
use p.JOINT_FEEDBACK_IN_WORLD_SPACE if you want the joint feedback in world space coordinates, instead of local link/joint coordinates.
Example: p.setPhysicsEngineParameter(jointFeedbackMode=p.JOINT_FEEDBACK_IN_WORLD_SPACE+p.JOINT_FEEDBACK_IN_JOINT_FRAME)
