RagdollUtils can't handle 16-bit bone indices

[stephengold]

Models imported using the GltfLoader typically have 16-bit bone indices.
If a KinematicRagdollControl is added to such a model, a ClassCastException is thrown in RagdollUtils.

Here is a typical stack trace, courtesy of oxplay2:

it was simple cube with one bone(p -> automatic weight) using Blender 2.79b.

Was working using blender exporter, but using gltf exporter was above exception.

Anyway KinematicRagdollControl will be replaced by DynamicAnimControl?
based on "If you’re on JME 3.2, you can start using DynamicAnimControl any time you want. You don’t have to wait for JME 3.3 to be released."

but i agree, it might take long time before 3.3

Thanks for the additional info. I've created my own test case.

This issue should be fixed in 3.2.3, if that ever happens.

Fixed in master branch at hash 51b12e1.
