Properly handle collisions inside bubbles (for boids) about smarts HOT 3 CLOSED

@Nickniyihan this is now working on master (not crashing anymore, however, the behavior is a bit complicated). Here's how it presently works,

• If any boid vehicle gets into a crash within the bubble zone the agent is killed and all vehicles taken over by SUMO.
• If any boid vehicle gets into a crash within the airlocking zone the agent is killed and then a new agent is immediately recreated (as a shadower) since one of the vehicles entered the airlocking zone. If this happens to happen within the final (exiting) airlock region the same happens, however we never end up hijacking and the shadowing agent gets terminated without ever having control.

I feel this behavior is a bit hard to follow, maybe even convoluted. But thinking through some of the alternatives, I see they have complicated edge cases as well. Does your team have a proposal on how you'd want it?

Thank you @JVillella ! It is a bit complicated. To summarize, the cases can be:

1. Crash/offroad within airlock entering zone (where sumo controls vehicles)
2. Crash/offroad within bubble zone
3. Crash/offroad within airlock exiting zone (where agent still takes control)
   And the ways to deal with these situations:
4. Replace dead bodies with sumo vehicles
5. Destroy the vehicle but keep the agent
6. Destroy the agent

Chatted over zoom w/ @Nickniyihan, closing for now.
