Autoleveling Base Seed

Description
Just spawn it, it drops to the ground and levels itself, then you can use the anchored and ever so beautifully level frame however you want. It tends to lock in a level better than the curvature of the Earth at 8cm/km, 80mm/km. Hit reboot to retry its luck (and there's luck, terrain is *bouncy*).

Normally it takes anywhere from maybe three seconds on flat ground up to as long as a minute on really bumpy ground, but its tiny non-spidertron self can get confused by odd features messing with its contact points, humps, junk on the ground, whatever. Then, it can hunt for a long time for stable footing. In marginal cases where you were really hoping it could find a grip but it just won't settle, before picking it up and trying from another angle or whatever try standing on a leg that's almost got solid contact.

This latest version cleans up the underside for much better performance on very flat ground.

There's currently what looks like a glitch to me in the SP game: loading a world resets the physics of any device with anchors to "active", even if they're already anchored. Added a "remove the anchors" warning display to stop that happening, I haven't found a better way.
