Expose interpolated meso vehicle positions #14936

MEVehicle::getPosition() could return the interpolated position currently shown in sumo-gui

this would make fcd-output more smooth
improve traci results for vehicle.getPosition

@behrisch your thoughts?

I am not sure whether backward jumps may occur (and maybe people would rightfully expect the induction loop to work differently as well if we have a more precise position). So, yes, why not, but there may be consequences. Especially backward jumps would be a strong argument against it for me.
