Actor's position can be determined in 3 ways:
1/ as a result of physics simulation
2/ after a script require a relative position change (SetPos, Move)
3/ absolutely set from games mechanics event (teleport) or script
(PositionCell)
In case 1/, RefData::mPosition is updated with the physics simulation result
In case 2/, when RefData::mPosition is updated, physics simulation is informed of the change and update accordingly
In case 3/, when RefData::mPosition is updated, the physics simulation state is reset
In all 3 cases, we don't need to check the RefData::mPosition to get a
correct behaviour.

The plan is to add additional options to this new tab, and since it's of similar status as the Shaders settings, it makes sense to put them next to them on the Graphics page.
