BBW Helm limit by speed

Reduce the risk of boats flipping or whipping out by putting a limit on how far over the helm can go based on a ship's speed.

Values set by property so you can easily edit them for tweaking by needs of your specific craft.

Does mean that full hard over will not >initially< be available in those speed ranges which may or may not be desirable. As ships turn they lose speed which could cross over the thresholds to allow more rudder.

The value of this is for vehicles like high speed planing boats that are easily flipped if you turn to hard. Large slow vessels, like cargo ships, may wish to leave this out.

When testing your values recommend you check for:
= high speed has moderate turning
= high speed switch directions doesnt roll over
= low speed roll over

Adjust the values for the handling and roll avoidance you wish. Some real world vessels limit rudder to 35 degrees at over 5 knots.
