Desired behavior

The contactSurfaceMotionVelocity parameter was added to the ContactSurfaceParams data structure in ContactProperties.hh in #267. This parameter can be used to model tracked vehicle mobility and conveyor belts. It is currently implemented in dartsim, and we should implement support in bullet-featherstone as well.

Part of #545.

Alternatives considered

Implementation suggestion

A forum post suggests that using the m_contactMotion1 and m_contactMotion2 parameters from btManifoldPoint can be used to simulate conveyor belt behavior, so that may be a good place to start.
