Fixed issues related to contact forces, wheeltrace amplitude, and wheeltrace orientation.

Contact Forces:
Added the dt parameter; without this parameter, the values were being treated as contact impulses instead of contact forces https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/py/isaacsim/source/extensions/omni.isaac.core/docs/index.html#rigid-prim:~:text=999.99994%20999.99994%20999.99994%5D-,get_net_contact_forces,-(indices%3A

Wheeltrace Amplitude:
Corrected a discrepancy in the calculation method between the simulation and the published paper

Wheeltrace Orientation:
The wheeltrace orientation was not correctly aligned to the actual wheel orientation while turning

I’ll send you more details via Slack.

Anychances we could get the dt parameter from the config?

Are you removing the pitch from the quaternion here?

The new traces looks amazing! Thanks a lot for making these mods!
