Set Motion Typed

This demo shows a body that is declared Static initially but uses allowDynamicOrKinematic and declares a mass. This instructs Jolt to store the needed internal data for changing from Static to Dynamic or Kinematic.

Based on a timer, the body will start Static and then turn into Kinematic and strike a nearby block. After more time, the body will turn into Dynamic and be allowed to fall to the ground.

This demonstrates setMotionType as well as the features of the three types of MotionTye:

1. static - immovable
2. kinematic - moving and unstoppable (will not interact with static)
3. dynamic - movable but under the influence of the rules of physics - will collide with kinematic
