#5400 new defect

Add a timeout to particle emitters

Description

Currently there is no way to tell a particle emitter to stop. This would be particularly useful for muzzle flashes on guns. Currently to make them work you have to rig the particle to a skeleton and make it disappear below the ground. That's an issue because particles are being produced even below the ground, and might be rendered as well. Related files are: 

source/simulation2/components/CCmpParticleManager.cpp
source/simulation2/components/ICmpParticleManager.cpp
source/simulation2/components/ICmpParticleManager.h
source/simulation2/components/ICmpParticleManager.h
source/graphics/ParticleEmitter.cpp
source/graphics/ParticleEmitter.h
source/graphics/ParticleEmitterType.cpp
source/graphics/ParticleEmitterType.h
source/graphics/ParticleManager.cpp
source/graphics/ParticleManager.h

The timeout should be configurable. The particle should appear each time the gun fires.

Move tickets to Simulation as UI & Simulation got some sub components.
