Add prop-node 'rotate' (quaternion) and globals-node 'gravity' attrs from public PR #959 (wire-safe, scene-v1 protocol 42); simplify kick-vote vote-count logic.

+- Prop nodes now have a `rotate` attr — a `(w, x, y, z)` quaternion that can
+  be read (live body orientation) or written, including before the body
+  exists to set a custom starting orientation. Globals nodes gain a
+  `gravity` attr for per-scene gravity control (moon maps, wind, zero-g).
+  This bumps the scene-v1 protocol to 42 (thanks vishal332008!)
 - Renamed the `BaStdAssets` asset package to `BaClassicAssets`; its client
   wrapper modules are now `bauiv1.classicassets` / `bascenev1.classicassets`
   (previously `stdassets`).
