[ODE] triangle id query giving a position

[Yordan Gyurchev]

We had a slight mod to the trimesh and the contact structure to return an
ID.
You will have to modify the triangle collision routines slightly because
that is
the place where you have the triangle index available.

We used this to "colour" the trimesh with different materials. There was a
material
array in the trimesh structure similar to the index array but keeping ID
instead of
vertex indices.

So the same static trimesh generates different footsteps, surface properties
(bouncyness, friction).
