Coventry Type 10 1.02 update

What's fixed:
- Electricity leaks;
- Windows can be opened only when sitting inside for non-owner avatars.
- Physic model improved - car is sticking better to the road(gradeability slightly decreased, max slope for climbing is 35 degrees now);
- Steering tweaked a bit, less responsible at higher speeds.

What's new:
- Parking gear now turns physics off(if applied at speed less than 2m/s, otherwise you'll hear creaking noise);
- Sound effects for rolling on prim or terrain surface;
- Suspension creaks sounds when wheel is hitting the surface which is more than 15 cm higher or lower than previous.
