🦟 Bug fix
Summary
It was found that empty links connected by joints do not respond to joint commands as they do not have a collision object associated with it. This PR fixes the issue by initializing a link collider with an empty compound shape for links without collisions.
I refactored the code for creating a link collider into its own helper function.
To test
Previously collisions were added to empty links in test.world in #658 and that allowed joint vel control tests to pass. This is no longer necessary. I removed those collisions and the tests should still pass.
