Improved the accuracy of the HandleGetT message handler in the plugin to work better in areas of high elevation far from the scenery origin. Used the method outlined by Ben Supnik in this forum post:

Also expanded the data that is sent back via the TERR UDP packet to include the velocity vector of the terrain. This may be useful to people programming a gear reaction model for an airplane landing on the aircraft carrier.
Finally, created a getTERR function in the C library so that people can request and receive the terrain probe data.
