Bug #932
mf2_floatbob not affecting particle generators
Description
While making a new Quartz Flask and Crystal Vial complete with bubbles, I found that the bobbing of the item did nothing for the position of the Generator origin, EVEN when 'Submodel' was used to specify a submodel center as the origin.

Bobbing now affects particle spawn positions. However, it only affects the original position of the particle — as the particle lives on, bobbing will not affect it any longer.
See todo note in the commit about a useful future enhancement.
Fixed|Particles: Particle spawn position affected by source float bobbing
When particles are spawned, in addition to floorclip, float-bobbing
is also taken into account.
Todo for later: It would be useful to have a generator flag that
determines that bobbing should be applied at a later stage, e.g.,
during rendering. This would allow for particles that appear
inside an object to stay inside it. In practice, it would be enough
to store the “bobbing phase” of the particle and have the renderer
figure out the offset based on that and time.
