[ODE] high accuracy cable physics

[Nguyen Binh]

ODE,Novodex physics models are not for accuracy. They all use a simple
approximation in contact and friction model. A better (in term of
accuracy) model can be found in Stewart-Trinkle time stepper. Also
collision detection plays a major role in energy lost.
