[Patch] fix for btWheelInfo::AddWheel() initializing wheel position to garbage

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
btRaycastVehicle::AddWheel() calls updateWheelTransform(), which references 
wheel.m_raycastInfo.m_suspensionLength to set the wheel position in this code:
    wheel.m_worldTransform.setOrigin(
        wheel.m_raycastInfo.m_hardPointWS + wheel.m_raycastInfo.m_wheelDirectionWS * wheel.m_raycastInfo.m_suspensionLength
    );

but wheel.m_raycastInfo is completely uninitialized when a btWheelInfo is 
created, so the position is garbage (only 0 if you are lucky)

This is bullet 2.81
Patch is this:
