Fix drag when engine is shut down, by avoiding negative RPM.

The Propeller class ignored negative RPM but still returned a torque
value, which ratcheted up a higher and higher negative RPM until drag
overwhelmed the aircraft.

In reality, the propeller should windmill at a reasonable postive RPM,
introducing a constant drag on the aircraft -- the propeller should
*not* stop unless the plane is flying very slowly.  That's a future
project.
