Alternate gravity affector

The original gravity particle affector behaves in a weird way - the particles have constant speed when falling, which IMHO looks unnatural and ugly. I've written a small fix to make them accelerate over the time they're falling down, like they should according to physics:

looks good
paerhaps there should be a variable in the ParticleGravityAffector class to specify what rate the particle should accelerate at.

Would be cool to also have the ability to set a terminal velocity, or maximum speed that gravity can accelerate you to?

Cool, nevertheless.

Hmm... I noticed that you _could_ achieve the same effect by using the default code with a very high timeForceLost. I guess that the change's worthless :/
