Static class for making a ThrusterSet with six thrusters that apply force at two
points on a RigidBody. The first point is the body's drag point; the second point is at
the reflection of the drag point across the geometric center of the body. Each point
can fire thrust in 3 directions, so there is a total of 6 thrusters, which can direct
force in several directions to move or spin the body.
This diagram is drawn in body coordinates. The diagram shows thruster #1 firing to
the right. All thrusters fire outwards from the body, from either of the two thruster
points, t or t2. The side thrusters have less thrust than the forward
and aft thrusters and they fire in pairs (0 and 5, or 1 and 4) to rotate the body; or in
pairs (0 and 4, 1 and 5) to move the body sideways.
In the diagram, t is the primary thrust point,
see MassObject.setDragPoints.
There is a second thrust point at t2, the mirror image of t through the geometric
center of the body.

Thrusters
The thrusters are numbered as follows:
